Oh, you thought we were done with the gaslighting? Buckle up ā because here comes Antony Blinken, the man who once thought a strongly worded tweet could stop a war, now trying to slap a āMade by Bidenā sticker on a Middle East peace deal that was so clearly ā painfully clearly ā a product of President Trumpās strategy.
Yes, seriously.
Over the weekend, the foreign policy crowd, which has spent the last several years running around with its hair on fire, finally watched a ceasefire plan come together in Gaza. A plan that actually looks⦠viable. Hostages are being released. Israel doesnāt have to pack up and leave. Hamas is facing disarmament. And for once, the word ābuffer zoneā means something more than a vague hope and a UN press conference.
But now Blinken is out here ā with a straight face ā saying this was Bidenās plan all along.
Not kidding. And no, thereās not a punchline. Because the only joke is the idea that this administration, the one that stood by as Iran pumped fuel (and weapons) into the regionās fires, somehow masterminded a solution it couldnāt even imagine eight months ago.
Letās rewind for a second.
Remember the last āceasefireā Biden and Blinken threw together? The one that left hostages in Hamas hands, required Israel to āshow restraintā while terrorists launched rockets, and asked the region to just trust that the people funding Hezbollah would play nice? That one? That was their plan.
It cratered faster than a State Department press release.
Fast forward to now: Trumpās diplomatic circle ā yes, the one the media treated like a punchline ā quietly worked channels, applied pressure where it mattered (hello, Iran), and brought the Arab states to the table. The deal wasnāt built on wishful thinking and model UN resolutions. It was built on leverage. On realism. On not pretending Hamas is a misunderstood political movement with ālegitimate grievances.ā And lo and behold, it worked.
But sure, letās pretend it was all part of Bidenās 4D chess. As if the guy who canāt remember who he shook hands with last week was out here running a multilateral negotiation strategy.
And just when you thought Blinken had exhausted his delusion supply, he tops it off by calling for ā wait for it ā the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Because apparently, nothing says āletās fix thisā like doubling down on the same fantasy thatās failed for 30 years.
If youāve been paying attention, this is the part where your eyes roll involuntarily. Because for decades, the foreign policy elite have insisted thereās no peace without a Palestinian state. Theyāve used it like a club ā smacking down anyone who dared to suggest that perhaps, just maybe, peace could be built differently. Trump blew that up with the Abraham Accords, proving Arab nations will engage with Israel without giving Hamas a seat at the adult table.
But here comes Blinken, walking over the ashes of his own failed policies, trying to resurrect the same old dogma like it didnāt just get steamrolled by reality.
Itās like watching the guy who set the house on fire show up after the fire department finishes, holding a garden hose and demanding a medal.
And letās be very clear: the only reason this deal is happening is because someone finally had the guts to stop listening to the foreign policy establishment. Trump tossed out their sacred cows, ignored the chorus of āyou canāt do that,ā and went straight to the source. Peace didnāt happen by pandering ā it happened by treating our enemies like enemies, not misunderstood allies-in-waiting.
Now they want credit?
Americans should remember this moment. Because when the people who caused the problem try to steal the win from the people who solved it, you know youāre not watching diplomacy. Youāre watching theater.
And not the good kind.
