Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading to Israel, where an unknown number of Americans are being imprisoned by Hamas militants who have threatened to begin executing hostages.

The State Department announced the trip in a press release Tuesday, but did not mention the hostages:

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will travel to Israel and Jordan October 11-13, 2023, where he will meet with senior officials. The Secretary will reiterate his condolences for the victims of the terrorist attacks against Israel and condemn those attacks in the strongest terms.  The Secretary will also reaffirm the United States’ solidarity with the government and people of Israel.  He will also discuss measures to bolster Israel’s security and underscore the United States’ unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself.

May as well say goodbye to those hostages and/or another $100 billion of taxpayer dollars in ransom.

I’m sure that’s exactly what he’s going to offer to the Hamas.

Probably to arrange amother money for hostages deal, or a prisoner swap deal.
Hamas was whining about all their terrorists sitting in jail.

HamASS knows he’s a whore so all they’ll be discussing is the price.

This would be the same Antony Blinken, high school buddy of traitor weasel and U.S. Special Envoy for Iran, Robert Malley.
As a New York Times story notes, “Mr. Malley is a boyhood friend of
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken; the two attended the same high school in
Paris when their families were living in France.” JNS 7/5/2023

It's simply not necessary for him to go there in this day and age...in fact it's ridiculous.

more likely than not....for the purpose of upstaging Putin and Erdogen.

“Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading to Israel”

Bad news, but could be worse, he could be sending Nuland there.

Hopefully, Blinken gets the same treatment that Nuland got in Niger when she materialized there several days after the coup. Niger’s new government sent a couple of mid-level military officials to meet with her...in other words, told her to f-off.

Ignore him.

The huge chutzpah for Blinken to show his face anywhere and surely not Israel. He aided and abetted mass murder with huge sums of USDollars for this Islamist savagery at this place at this time. Blinken has no sense of shame. Rushing to Israel. He has been working fir the good of these terroristd.
