“Unpacking Blinken’s lies on the Gaza #ceasefire#negotiations: After the US secretary of state’s misleading press conference on Wednesday in Doha, there is a need to correct the record.”

“That #Blinken would lie is not surprising. Indeed, in the context of Israel, the Palestinians, and Gaza, the #Biden administration has a history of untruths.
But the sheer amount of #lies that Blinken was able to pack into a short press conference is nonetheless astonishing.
Recent diplomatic manoeuvring isn’t likely to end the war on Gaza, but it will serve Biden’s domestic aims.
At the end of all this posturing, Biden will be able to tell #US#voters that he tried his best to end the war but that Hamas didn’t allow him to.”
