He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked.

for a short-term truce and rejected it for not including a lasting ceasefire.
In a telephone call with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Blinken "noted that Hamas has once again refused to release even a limited number of hostages to secure a ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza," a State Department statement said.
Blinken "emphasized the importance of bringing the war in Gaza to an end, securing the release of all hostages and increasing and sustaining the delivery of humanitarian assistance," it said.

The four hostages were to fall under the so-called humanitarian category, meaning they were to be either women, elderly, or sick.
In exchange, Israel was to release roughly 100 Palestinian security prisoners, the diplomats said, and Israel and Hamas would have held talks throughout the 12-day deal about a more long-lasting ceasefire.
Netanyahu is also prepared to offer their captors “several million dollars” for the release of each hostage. In addition, the captors who release hostages would be guaranteed “safe passage” for them and their families, the report stated.
But Hamas made clear that it would only agree to a short-term deal that includes guarantees for a longer-term one, and the Egyptian proposal stopped short of such an assurance, given Israel’s refusal to agree.
