Overview

  • In a detailed X thread, Antony Blinken said it was good that President Trump adopted and built on a Gaza post‑conflict plan developed under Biden after months of talks with regional partners.
  • Asked aboard Air Force One, Trump dismissed Blinken’s assertion as “a joke” and criticized Biden’s foreign policy record.
  • Coverage describes Trump’s accord as a 20‑point framework that includes an International Stabilization Force, a technocratic transitional governance structure for Gaza, phased Israeli withdrawal, and Hamas demilitarization.
  • Blinken noted the Biden administration secured a January 2025 cease-fire that led to the release of about 135 hostages before collapsing.
  • Trump is meeting leaders in Egypt to advance the agreement’s second phase, while Republican officials and conservative commentators publicly ridicule Blinken’s bid to claim credit.
