US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Turkey on first stop of Middle East trip
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Istanbul, Turkey on Friday (January 5) to begin his week of diplomacy around the Middle East.
He’s aiming to help prevent the Gaza war from expanding, the State Department said on Thursday (January 4).
Blinken’s weeklong trip – his fourth to the region since Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attacks on southern Israel sparked a massive Israeli air and ground assault – will also include visits to Israel and the West Bank, as well as Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

It is US secretary of state or Israel agent or hire broker
we don't hate you don't hate your country only we hate the behavior and nature of your country, why does it seem as if your country doesn't want to let us live, I'm sure blinken is also a human being who at least has a heart, look at your children when they are still small, just like the children at GAZA, WE ARE OLD AND ONE TIME WE WILL DIE, LET OUR GENERATION LIVE, LET THE GENERATION TAKE THEIR OWN MORALS AND RELIGION,
Couldn’t be more proud of Turkey, and be more ashamed of AIPAC controlled US.
I hope good results will come out
“Much better, Antony Blinken meet Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as soon as possible. Ask Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is there still any good intentions for Israel or not?”
It takes a lot of geographical freestyle to locate Turkey in the Middle East.
Shame on Turkey.
Blinken arrived on time for Prayer with that Adhan

Tony Blinken’s step father was Robert Maxwell’s lawyer, closest confidant & one of the last to speak with him alive. Tony Blinken’s father was an ‘art dealing’ associate of Jeffrey Epstein’s. Robert Maxwell received an Israeli state funeral.

Yes, Turkey is a Middle Eastern country, even Malta and Cyprus, which are located further south, are in Europe, but Turkey is in the Middle East.😂
