Like chess pieces retreating after a gambit, their departure followed marathon talks—where ink on paper danced between ceasefire promises and unspoken threats.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the final credits rolled for John Brenkus, the silver-tongued TV host whose voice once electrified living rooms.
