Blinken, Trump Clash Over Who Gets Credit for Gaza Ceasefire Deal

The former secretary of state says Trump built on a Biden-devised postwar plan for Gaza.

Overview

  • Antony Blinken said in an Oct. 11 X thread that Trump’s agreement adopted a post-conflict plan the Biden administration developed with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
  • Trump rejected the claim as “a joke” in remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One, assailing Biden’s foreign-policy record.
  • Republican lawmakers and conservative media figures ridiculed Blinken’s attribution, casting it as an attempt to rewrite credit for the outcome.
  • Reporting describes the Trump-brokered deal as securing the release of remaining living hostages and laying out a pathway to end the war in Gaza.
  • Plan details reported by outlets include temporary transitional authorities for Gaza and an International Stabilization Force, with Trump described as working on a second phase focused on postwar governance.
