Israel-Hamas war: Iran attack on Israel looms as Blinken visits Netanyahu | LiveNOW from FOX

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has departed America for the Middle East where he is expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu on Monday, as negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas continue in Cairo.

Israeli negotiators said they were “cautiously optimistic” following last week’s peace talks in Doha, Qatar.

Blinken’s visit to Israel comes as concerns loom over an “imminent” attack from Iran that US officials have said could come with little to no warning. Iran has said it will retaliate against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh who was killed while in Tehran for the presidential inauguration. Israel has not claimed responsibility for that attack.

In the meantime, the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon continues to launch attacks on northern Israel, as Israel conducts strikes within Lebanon.

Ruthie Blum, a former adviser to Netanyahu's office joined LiveNOW from FOX's Stephanie Coueignoux to discuss the latest developments out of the Middle East.

Blinken and kirby need to be replaced. They're worthless

[joshc]

Double standards, are we all the sudden negotiating with terrorists?

[Athome]

Shame on all these war criminals, I’m disgusted at the level of impunity.

[motnoswad]

Blinken is an arms rep just putting in a new order for weapons

[jokerswild]

Fancy having negotiations without Hamas it’s a clown world 🤦‍♂️

No way sin wra agrees to anything . His hate for Israel is more stronger than his love of his own people and their futures

[longvaht]

"When Hamas uses civilians as shields during their fight against the IDF, it is inevitable that civilians will become casualties. Even Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas, has acknowledged that civilian sacrifice is an integral part of their warfare strategy. So, why the outcry when civilians are killed? Didn't Hamas kill over 1, 300 civilians on October 7, 2023

Will Blinken be breaking out his guitar and doing Neil Young's living in the Free World during the bombing

[amgguy]

Blinken probably wants to watch the IDF live-shows in person.

[kevinbrowne]

Israel should give Blinken the same protection the secret service gave Donald Trump!

[dextermoore]

This lady is right. HAMMAS wants to stay in power! They aren't going to leave Gaza and move to Iran!!! The lesson is: DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.

[enshanoldmanvilla]

I find it hard to listen to these individuals discuss these issues while ignoring their own hypocrisy. The apartheid regime is clearly an oppressor, and the Palestinian people are the ones suffering under this oppression.

Furthermore, blaming every death and massacre in Gaza solely on Hamas is overly simplistic. It's like claiming that all the French civilians killed during World War II in defense against the Nazi invasion were at fault because they didn't surrender, rather than holding the Nazis accountable. This is a serious contradiction.

[NoahLorano]

There's no attack coming. Iran is like my ex, all talk, threats, making demands.

[brentriley]

Stay with journalism, stop the mouthpiece function

[MiladaKaiser]

Free all the hostages from Palestinian hands.

[Gggffwss]

Blinken been talking about “cease fires “😂

[flash]

WHY DO YOU KILL THE POOR AND SACRIFICING ANIMALS THAT GIVE YOU FOOD AND HELP YOU FOR FREE? BE GRATEFUL TO THEM, LOVE AND PROTECT THEM, RECEIVE THEIR PRAYERS, DO NOT BE ungrateful and betrayal..

[PfukYT]

5:10 she's a propagandist. It's fact that Iz-real founded Ha-mahs to counter the PL0. The then funded Ha-mahs funneling the $ the UAE (it think. Or Dubai. I can't remember). It's documented

[Opinion]

Who in their right minds would vote for or agree to " going back" to live in a prison camp?
