Unbelievable: Antony Blinken Gives Biden Credit for Gaza Deal, and It Gets Worse From There
Red State ^ | 10/12/2025 | Bonchie

Posted on 10/12/2025 8:49:30 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

When I wrote on Saturday that the foreign policy establishment is in utter shambles, I'm not sure I expected them to respond with such utter shamelessness. Yet, here we are, with former Secretary of State Antony Blinken giving Joseph Robinette Biden credit for the recently negotiated Gaza peace deal.

No, I'm not kidding, and that's not even the worst of it.

As RedState reported, the deal will see the release of the remaining hostages, with Israel not having to vacate Gaza. Instead, they'll pull back to a predetermined line inside the territory, forming a buffer zone to ensure the disarmament of Hamas. 

Clearly, this was a major victory for the Trump administration, which threw aside the conventional wisdom of the foreign policy "experts" and paved its own path. Yet, according to Blinken, they were simply following Biden's plan.

(5/12) That moment was squandered. Israel and Hamas went back to war. The question now is how to make this moment endure. How can we ensure that Israel fully withdraws in security, that Hamas does not return, that Palestinians can begin to rebuild their lives, and that the war…— Antony Blinken (@ABlinken) October 11, 2025

(7/12) The post conflict plan should be implemented as soon as possible, with eyes wide open about its challenges: pulling together the international stabilization force, fully demilitarizing and disarming Hamas, dealing with insurgents, expeditiously securing a phased but full…— Antony Blinken (@ABlinken) October 11, 2025

Comparing the terrible ceasefire Blinken and Biden brokered to this one is so disingenuous. That ceasefire was never viable because it left hostages in the hands of Hamas, and it provided no path to disarm and fully defeat the terrorist group, instead demanding Israel essentially surrender. It was the typical warmed-over slop we've come to expect from the Obama/Biden axis of foreign policy expertise. 

At no point did the Biden administration apply any pressure on the Arab nations to turn against Hamas and end the war. More importantly, they never applied pressure on Iran, which was fueling the conflict in Gaza and propping up Hezbollah in the north as a threat. In short, the entire region was on fire, and it was handed over to Trump in far worse condition than Biden and company found it.

For Blinken to pretend the former administration laid the groundwork and showed the path forward is laughable. But he hadn't reached peak shamelessness yet. That came later in his thread when he demanded the establishment of a Palestinian state. 

(10/12) To those who say two states is a fantasy, I ask: tell me how this ends? No matter the delusions of extremists on both sides, the reality is this: the 7 million Israeli Jews, 2 million Israeli Arabs, and 5 million Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are not going anywhere. Two states remains the only way for Israel to ensure its future as a secure, Jewish, democratic state and for Palestinians to achieve the state they deserve. I set out here a time-bound, conditions-based roadmap to recognition that answers Palestinian aspirations and Israel’s need for security.

This absolute clown. If you've been following this issue for any amount of time, you will understand how infuriating that is. The foreign policy establishment has insisted for decades that you could never get Arab buy-in, defeat Hamas, neuter Hezbollah, and limit Iran without giving the terrorists in Gaza a state. That issue was treated as the key to everything, basically becoming a tenet of faith and a bludgeon to beat Israel with. Trump walked in and proved them all wrong, securing the Abraham Accords and ending the war in Gaza by marginalizing the issue, and yet they are still claiming that a Palestinian state must be established. 

Americans should be so thankful that no one is listening to these over-credentialed imbeciles anymore. The arsonists don't get to wag their fingers and lecture the firefighters who put out their fires. They certainly don't get to take credit for it. The foreign policy establishment is a joke, and it should be treated as such.

October 7th wouldn’t have happened in the first place, and neither would Russia’s invasion of Ukraine …if Trump had been in office.

In agreement with Trump there.

Well, it would have been nice for Biden, meaning Jill Biden, to have negotiated a ceasefire. But she was too busy changing Depends and spoon feeding Gerbers to focus on such things

The Biden plan was to import Gazans by the planeload.

It’s hardly a surprise in my book.

Democrats live in such a state of severe detachment from reality that they’ll believe anything.

That's the Democrat credo: never give up the lie.

It's their Omertà.

Blinking are you pretending to be a MORON, or is it real?

"they were simply following Biden's plan."

I think biden's real plan was for the Israelis to throw down and abandon their weapons before fleeing back across the border leaving the war ravaged Gazans to fend for themselves.

Assertion without evidence. Hamas Attacked on October 7 because Israel appeared to them to be be in a state of civil war.

When Biden and company majorly screw up in Afghanistan and get our poor service members murdered and all the other horrible fallout, it’s all Trump’s fault.

When Trump has an historic positive achievement, it’s just Trump getting credit for what Biden laid the groundwork for.

Pretty convenient way of looking at things.

BlYo !, Blinken !,

Jhn 8:44 - “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Blinken’s only value was that he was an extremely reliable sycophant.
