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.

  1. 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,

  2. “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?”

  3. 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.
