Blinken arrives in Israel for 11th-hour talks on Gaza ceasefire deal
US secretary of state flies into Tel Aviv amid signals that a breakthrough may not be as close as had been suggested
The US secretary of state has arrived in Israel for 11th-hour talks aimed at shoring up a deal for a lasting ceasefire in the war in Gaza, amid signals from Israeli and Hamas officials that a breakthrough may not be as close as international mediators had suggested.
Antony Blinken flew into Tel Aviv on Sunday as part of Washington’s renewed efforts to broker a ceasefire in the 10-month-old conflict, negotiations seen as even more urgentafter last month’s back-to-back assassinations of a top Hezbollah commander and the Hamas political chief, Ismail Haniyeh.
It is hoped a ceasefire would lower the temperature in the Middle East and dissuade Iran and Hezbollah from retaliatory action that could cause the war in Gaza to slide quickly into a region-wide conflict.

What a useless person.
How many times he visited Tel Aviv?
He achieved nothing.Maybe he just like a travel, financed by the public.
Biden pretty much picked this guy for his stance on Israel.
It's why I think a ceasefire will be signed before Biden leaves office.
Literally no one besides Biden would support Israel this hard and this unconditionally, so there's no way any other US president would get Israel as much as they want in any ceasefire.
They'll probably run it all the way to December tho, it's not happening soon.

Oh come on.
Name one other past president or someone you think could hypothetically be president that would support Israel more.
Biden spent 50 fucking years in politics saying nothing would ever make him lessen let alone cease aid to Israel.
It's a blank check and that's what they've been acting like, while constantly insulting Biden for any delays.
Hell, he went around congress to give them weapons for genocide? Did you forget already?
It was going to pass anyway, but Biden didn't want to wait.
He's not even out of office yet, don't start the revisions it shit already
Dubbya, Clinton, GHWB, Reagan, Trump (bonus)...if you go further you have Nixon...
All of them would support Israel more without a second thought. The only guys that I can imagine having a more balanced Israel position than Biden would be Obama and Carter.
I mean, look at Hillary's opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czN4E-CTJ_E what political universe are you living in to imagine that Biden is in the extreme view here?

All of them at one point or another cut off weapons/aid to Israel so they'd back off and not commit a full blown genocide...
Biden hasn't, and he won't.
That's where he's different. And I don't know why people won't listen to him when he says this.
Do you think he's lying?
I added some links to look at in case you are trying to argue in good faith, there is no point in continuing this exchange.
A bunch of YouTube links and an accusation that I'm somehow arguing in bad faith...
For what reason I have zero idea.
Yeah, there's no point in seeing any of your comments again.
All of those videos except Trump seem to be critical of Israel, not supportive.
Historically, Israelis starts a massive bombing campaign in the day after US elections, and keeps it up nonstop until the day before inauguration. It’s almost an occurrence every four years by this point.
