Blinken Says Biden Laid Groundwork for Trump's Gaza Plan
Antony Blinken said the Biden administration crafted a Gaza peace plan that forms the basis of Trump's 20-point proposal aimed at ending Israel-Hamas hostilities.
- Antony Blinken, who served as US Secretary of State, expressed his support for President Donald Trump's Gaza peace initiative, noting that much of the plan reflected efforts he led during the Biden administration.
- Blinken explained the plan emerged from months of negotiations but was set aside for the incoming administration amid ongoing conflict after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.

- The January 19, 2024 ceasefire set a six-week initial period to establish lasting conditions, with Blinken hoping the peace plan is fully adopted despite acknowledged risks and unresolved gaps.
