Biden and Blinken try to claim credit for Gaza peace deal

Biden - Blinken news

Former U.S. President Joe Biden and his ex–Secretary of State Antony Blinken have both asserted that the groundwork for Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire deal was laid during their administration, igniting a partisan debate over who deserves credit for the breakthrough.

Biden, currently undergoing cancer treatment, said on X that his team “worked relentlessly” to free hostages and bring humanitarian aid to Palestinians, while acknowledging Trump’s success in finalising the truce. Blinken went further, claiming Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan was built on a framework designed by the Biden White House after months of talks with Arab leaders, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority.

Trump dismissed their remarks as “a joke,” telling reporters aboard Air Force One that Biden and Blinken had “done a terrible job” and that such a conflict “should never have happened.”

The U.S president, in Egypt to launch the second phase of his peace initiative, declared the deal a “historic” milestone and credited global unity for achieving “the impossible.” Meanwhile, Blinken argued that Trump’s plan largely reaffirmed principles first outlined under Biden — including the demilitarisation of Hamas, an international stabilisation force, and a pathway toward a Palestinian state — while warning that its real test will come in the implementation phase.

  1. “Worked relentlessly” to free hostages and bring humanitarian aid to Palestinians, while acknowledging Trump’s success in finalizing the truce?
    All the while continuing to supply the Israelies with weaponry to bomb the shit out of Gaza where the hostages were supposedly being held
    A typical display of political maneuvering and gesturing while echoing double speak
    Blinkin called for “humanitarian pauses” but never for a ceasefire without hard lines
    Ritualized ambiguity

    • A cease fire is an intermittent period of peace between hostilities
      Upon which the extermination and slaughter will resume
      With weapons supplied by the broker of peace

  2. As before there will never be peace when all 3 korans call for ending jews.Once they achieve that Europe is next.The ground work is being layed now. Even here muslims attempted subvert our speech laws with sharia using islamaphobia as the means. That word is an invention of the muslim brotherhood. Look it up

  3. Yes, the vote-tampered illegal U.S. Government under President Auto-Pen operates in typical J3wi$h fashion- trying to steal the successes of others, (Kim Dotcom is an example of the J3w$ of Hollywood trying to steal MegaUpload..and then prosecutes as a civil case presented as a criminal case in the media, complete with illegal FBI RAIDS IN NEW ZEALAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
    They then try to claim ‘credit’ for Trump’s partial, but doomed to fail ‘success’ in the region.
    As long as Israel exists, there will be global terror, ie 9-11, exploding pagers, assassinations, de-banking and Unit 8200 manipulation of ‘Social Credit’…!

  4. 😂. All totally delusional.
    I give it..less than….6 months….before either the Jewish or Arabic hardliners cause a ruckus and 💥. All on Team..
