This is @marwanbishara analysis on Antony Blinken Middle East trip. (Today targeted Israeli strike also killed two more journalists - Hamza AlDahdooh and Mustafa Thuraya) “Blinken is wasting everyone's time in order to buy Israel time. He is buying Israel time in order to continue with its genocide and to continue with its basically unachievable objectives. Now in Washington they admit they are unachievable. We heard from (John Kirby, NSC spokesperson) the idea of defeating Hamas as an organization, as an idea … is just not possible. And yet to the United States continues to support Israel's genocide in Gaza and the killing of our colleagues. But instead of Mr. Blinken coming in and weighing in on Israel, using Americas to leverage to stop the war, he's using his leverage with Israel’s detractors in the region in order to continue the war. He is literally wasting everyone's time to buy Israel more time to ‘finish the job,’ which really means killing more and more people and destroying more and more institutions. And just extending this tragedy to every home in Gaza.”
