U.S. Secretary Of State Blinken's Trip To The Middle East Looks Like A Disaster, And Now US President Biden Is In Israel
Politico: Dissed by Saudi Arabia, lectured by Egypt: U.S. diplomacy meets Mideast reality
Secretary of State Antony Blinken says no one wants the Israeli-Hamas conflict to grow, but Arab leaders won’t take sides.
America’s intense war-time diplomacy is so far failing to sway Arab countries in the Middle East — and President Joe Biden’s planned visit to the region may not help.
In recent days, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been nearly ghosted by Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and given a bizarre history lesson by Egypt’s ruler.
U.S. officials have been unable to get most Arab leaders to denounce Hamas for the Palestinian militant group’s brutal attack on Israel or make statements supporting Israel’s military response.

WNU Editor: Blinken was sent there to lay the groundwork for US President Biden's trip to the Middle East, but what a disaster this has become. Blinken travels to Cairo and was immediately ripped to pieces by the Egyptian President. He travels to to Saudi Arabia, and he is kept waiting for a day by Saudi Crown Prince Salman (link here). In Jordan, he receives nothing but criticism and condemnation. But the Western media narrative is that he is working hard and making strides to resolve the crisis in Gaza (link here). And this is all happening before the Gaza hospital massacre!!!
Instead of stepping back and trying to de-escalate the situation, the US is responding with a massive arms buildup that its sheer scale sends the message that the US is preparing to target Hezbollah/Syria/and Iran.
I have mentioned before and I will mention it again. I have been a close observer of US foreign policy and diplomacy for over 4 decades. I have never seen such an incompetent US administration when it comes to foreign policy as this one. Their policy is based on confrontation and escalation and the world knows it.
On a side note. And this is what diplomacy is all about. Yesterday, with the support of Chinese President Xi, Russian President Putin had phone/video discussions with the Egyptian President, Syrian President Assad, Saudi Crown Prince Salaman, Iranian leaders, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and Israeli President Netanyahu. Of all the calls the most difficult for Putin would have been his last one with Netanyahu. And while details of those talks are still private, I am willing to bet that the purpose of that last call by Putin was to not lecture Netanyahu but to brief him on what was the result of his conversations with the other Middle Eastern leaders. It is not being reported in the West, but Putin/Xi are positioning themselves to be the peacemaker in this war, and I am already seeing the groundwork being laid for an off-ramp to this conflict.
My concern is this .... will Washington torpedo these de-escalation and peace efforts as they did when they torpedoed the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in March of 2022 brokered by Turkey that would have ended the war. You tell me.
