Top talk radio and Fox News host Mark Levin laced into Secretary of State Antony Blinken on social media this week, accusing him of going behind Congress to “carve up Israel” and work out giving big swaths of the Jewish state to the Palestinians.
“Antony Blinken, the great traitor,” Levin began in a lengthy X post.
“Blinken is a despicable con who is organizing Arab and European countries and the U.N. around the backs of our Congress and Israel to carve up Israel and gift the Palestinians massive swaths of Israel’s country, including Judea and Samaria. That’s his response for the Palestinians’ murderous slaughter of Israelis!” he continued in a post with a link to a story published by an Israeli news outlet detailing Blinken’s upcoming fourth trip to Israel.
The story is light on details but mentions a “ceasefire deal.”
Levin went on to claim that “Blinken is using Israel’s need for weapons to threaten and blackmail Israel diplomatically and impose his policies and will. Utterly contemptible. This is not how foreign policy is conducted — as a weapon against our great ally in the middle of a war.”
Levin added:
Blinken is an American Marxist who appointed an Iranian-supporting stooge and longtime friend to negotiate with Iran, and who is now under federal investigation and lost his classified clearance. Indeed, the fact that they introduced an Iranian spy ring into our government is either underreported or totally ignored. It makes the Alger Hiss case look like small potatoes. It’s no surprise that there is no plan or actual effort to stop Iran from finishing its nuclear missile project. This is the greatest scandal of our times with unimaginable ramifications.
“Yet again, I’m calling on congressional Republicans and any patriots with a platform and voice to speak out and demand answers and accountability,” Levin concluded.

According to a source who spoke to Axios, cited by the Israeli news outlet, “Blinken’s trip to the region hasn’t been totally finalized but is expected to take place after Thanksgiving and before his participation in the NATO foreign ministers summit in Brussels next Tuesday [November 28].”
The news comes as Israel’s war cabinet approves ceasefire deal for hostages release, i24News reported. In an X post of his own, Blinken said that it “is the result of tireless diplomacy and relentless effort across the United States government. While this deal marks significant progress, we will not rest as long as Hamas continues to hold hostages in Gaza.”

Meanwhile, Biden’s approval rating has been falling for months, but it took yet another hit — among Democrat voters, no less — over his support for Israel following the brutal, deadly surprise attack on the Jewish state by the Hamas terrorist organization last month.
According to Axios, citing a Gallup survey, Biden’s approval rating fell 11 points in a single month among Democrats, falling to a record low of 75 percent, and that is largely due to his support for Israel.
“Biden is at risk of alienating members of his own party with his unequivocal support for Israel, which has carried out a weeks-long bombardment and total siege of Gaza in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks,” Axios reported.
The results come after Gallup found in February that more Democrats sympathized with Palestinians than Israelis for the first time since the polling firm asked the question.
“The divide is particularly stark between generations: Less than half (48%) of Gen Z and millennials believe the U.S. should publicly voice support for Israel, according to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll,” Axios continued.
While Biden’s steadfast support for Israel, his trip there, and his request that Congress provide $14 billion in aid for the country won him plaudits from Israel supporters, four new national surveys found that it didn’t translate into a net gain in political support at home, Axios reported.
