Blinken says Biden laid groundwork for Trump’s Gaza plan
2025-10-03
Of course he did. That doesn’t mean he’s right, though
[GEO.TV] Former US secretary of state Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...

...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
"I do think it's cause for some hope. I certainly hope that the plan gets fully accepted, fully adopted and fully implemented," Blinken said.

"This is essentially the plan that developed over many months and more or less (was) left in a drawer for the incoming administration, and I'm very, very glad they picked it up," he told the podcast of former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara.

But he also acknowledged risks in the framework, including allowing Israel to determine when the situation allows it to withdraw fully from Gaza.

"There's some loopholes that they could drive a truck through if they wanted to," Blinken said of Israel.
