2. Interview has English Subtitles

Peace might’ve been agreed between Russia & Ukraine shortly after the start of the conflict, but Kiev’s Western backers blocked the negotiations, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who mediated those contacts, said.

3. Concessions & Truce?

Bennet said his efforts as a middleman came close to succeeding as Moscow & Kiev appeared to be ready to make concessions & agree to a truce

It didn’t happen because there was a decision by the West to keep striking Putin, the more aggressive approach

4. Blocked

When asked by the host if the US and its allies “blocked” the peace process between Moscow and Kiev, the former PM replied:

“Basically, yes. They blocked it.”

5. Note that MSM reports of the interview focus entirely on the promise by Putin not to kill Zelensky, but completely fail to mention Bennet's revelation that US & Allies blocked the peace process.

7. Actually a classic and illuminating example of micro management of the current MSM #propaganda operates (by #deflection in this particular case).
