00:00 after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's huddle with his Arab counterparts in Jordan
00:05 over the weekend, which chalked up points purely on civility and photo ops, and nothing
00:10 on an immediate ceasefire.
00:12 America's top diplomat flew to Turkey for his next stop, hoping to sway the Turks to
00:16 buy into Biden's pro-Israel plan to sustain Israel's invasion and bombardment, while letting
00:22 in more aid in Gaza and assuring less civilian collateral damage.
00:27 Blinken's trip to Turkey is meant to assuage Ankara's anger over the Biden's pro-Israel
00:33 stance that has kowtowed and capitulated to Israel's Netanyahu's "my way or the highway"
00:38 approach on the war versus Hamas in Gaza.
00:43 Before heading for Turkey, Blinken also took side trips to Cyprus and Iraq to convey and
00:48 convince Iraqis and Cypriots that an immediate ceasefire tends to allow Hamas to regroup
00:54 and launch more attacks against Israel troops and prolong the war's timeline.
00:59 Interestingly enough, Blinken was spotted wearing a bulletproof vest in his stay in
01:03 Iraq.
01:04 Cool.
