9. Biden's Secretary of State Takes Credit for Trump's Gaza Peace Plan: 'Essentially the Plan We Developed'
Thu Oct 9, 2025, 04:41 PM

Blinken joined Preet Bharara on his Stay Tuned with Preet podcast this week, where he claimed the guts of the peace plan he had been developing during President Joe Biden’s administration made up almost all of Trump’s 20-point plan to bring peace and end the war between Israel and Hamas.

Blinken surprised Bharara by saying Trump’s plan was “cause for some hope” and he backed it being “fully implemented.”

Blinken explained:

This is essentially the plan that we developed over many months and more or less left in a drawer for the incoming administration. And I’m very, very glad they picked it up. I was working with all of the parties, the Israelis, the Arabs, the Palestinians and others on what would be necessary for post-conflict arrangements in Gaza. And the basic idea is contained in this plan.
