A mediator doesn’t have to be completely impartial; and I doubt anyone in the U.S. forgot that they allowed Bin Laden to live in a villa near a Pakistani military base.

Eh, the article said it was after the ceasefire so I don’t see what the issue is. If hostilities break out again and it tries to be used, I can’t imagine it would last long.

Is this a big thing somehow?
E.g. the US has been feeding intelligence and billions of dollars worth of advanced weapons systems to Ukraine, while having a mediator role between Ukraine and Russia.
Whataboutism is not my point here. Mainly I am utterly perplexed that the news is framed as if a mediator is expected to have absolutely nothing to do with either party.

Why have the UN in US?
Put UN on a neutral island.
No country should have any advantage on what is supposed to be an global intergovernmental organization.

Parking planes is a conflict of interest but accepting planes worth a half bill as gifts is not.

And one of the US negotiators has ridiculously large financial ties to Saudi Arabia, Iran’s largest rival in the Gulf.

Pakistani have to be nice to Iran, because at the end they are neighbors, and let’s be honest they aren’t always the best of neighbors. Iran has attacked Pakistan in the past.

Pakistan literally copy pasted a tweet given by the US to sway the stock market. At no point were they even a little impartial

So are they interning the planes for the duration of the conflict or allowing Iranian planes to operate?

They also let bin laden live there the entire war…. So not surprised.
