This guy is so reckless and has absolutely zero diplomatic skills

[Emmadaniels]

Israel is fighting everybody at the same time. What diplomacy is this Blinken talking about?

[MohammadAli-ifwx]

Blinken is the biggest liar in the world and he is breaking all kinds of international laws

[freejosephmusic]

He is not answering questions he make statements of choice

[TonyMidyett]

Blinken should be in prison for war crimes.

[jgaffney]

This man broke US law...time to prosecute...

[jdotsalter]

Blinken and Austin worked for Pine Island Capital, a private equity firm that invests in the military industrial complex. They helped arms companies secure government contracts. When they leave government they'll go right back to the MIC and be paid handsomely for their work of fomenting wars and enriching arms manufacturers.

Why isn't Blinken required to register as a foreign agent?

[madpatriot]

Blinken talking about boots on the ground diplomacy, when all he has to do is end weapons shipment

[AaronWireman]

Isnt he an Israeli citizen? So isn't that a conflict of interest for him in the Secretary position for the United States?

[bapbap]

Nobody believes you anymore Blinken. You’re just a talking head

[firegenetmulugeta]

How America is giving weapons for the Israeli and at the same time be a mediator?

[farrahs]

Can the Palestinians return home or only Israelis?

[itubebang]

Curated questions to elicit desired answers...this is Hypocrisy of Journalist...Humanity at loss because of press!

[Antarctica]

He starts with 10/7 and ends with blaming Hamas….snd Palestinians continue to suffer.
THIS SEC of STATE hides behind his reports and needs to be held accountable for war crimes!

[lookbovine]

A ceasefire deal was drafted by mediators from Egypt and Qatar on May 5, and endorsed by Hamas on May 6. On May 31, Biden presented a deal, saying it was an Israeli proposal; the proposals are nearly identical. Hamas accepted it July 3 with the reservation it should begin sooner. Israel rejected it.

[jeffandersen]

He's been working on this for almost a year, so either he's terrible at his job or, maybe there was never any push to de-escalate at all, maybe what we are seeing is all part of some "Project for a New Israeli Century"

[freewilly]

Sure, sure, "we want diplomacy but were also going to keep funding the aggressors"

Blinken, kindly shut up.

[freeroamer]

Blinken, report to Congress or go to jail! You're holding up justice!

[DD-fjor]

@ 0:47 in the clip, I hit pause because US Secretary of State Blinken is so gaslighting is the American people. Is he talking about diplomacy? I haven't seen diplomacy. Blinken just told a big fat lie because the Israel governmental officials and military leaders, the Israel prime minister rejected the ceasefire a couple of time. This is what I hate about the United States spokesmen like repeatedly lie to us.
