I’m exit without X. I’ll repost this a couple times but pulling the plug here and hope to see you elswhere.

On my way to Israel and other stops in the Middle East for intensive discussions about the importance of ending the war in Gaza, returning the hostages to their families, and alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people.

So great to see old friend @TerrySzuplat discuss his new book- Say It Well: Find Your Voice, Speak Your Mind, Inspire Any Audience during a conversation with Alexander Ward @PoliticsProse in DC last night.

Ukraine’s flag flies over the memorials of those lost during Russia's brutal war. It represents the courage and sacrifice of those lost in years of battle, and the pride and unity of the Ukrainian people who continue to fight to write their own futures. Slava Ukraini.

As @UnderSecPD, Liz Allen has embodied a fundamental truth of our work: that public diplomacy is central to every foreign policy priority and foundational to U.S. global leadership. Today, as she leaves this role, we thank her for her leadership and her service.

In honor of World Refugee Day today, I stopped by Emma's Torch — a local non-profit that offers a paid culinary training program for refugees. The work they do exemplifies the best of America: providing a welcoming space for refugees and empowering them with skills to succeed.

Bringing the hostages home is at the heart of everything we’re trying to do. We will not rest until every hostage — woman, man, young, old, civilian, soldier — is back with their families, where they belong.

No 75th @NATO anniversary is complete without a birthday cake! @SecBlinken joined his fellow foreign ministers to celebrate 75 years of the Alliance that has only gotten stronger, bigger, and more united.

I had the opportunity to thank our colleagues serving at @USEmbassyFrance for their work to strengthen the longstanding friendship between our nations. It was a pleasure to spend time with you and your families today.

The U.S. and France have been friends and partners since the very founding of our country. Today I met with President @EmmanuelMacron to reaffirm the strong ties between our countries and peoples. We also discussed our support for Ukraine and the need to increase aid in Gaza.

I joined the Ivoirian Foreign Minister for today’s Africa Cup of Nations match against Equatorial Guinea. As a lifelong soccer fan, it was great to feel the energy of all the fans in the arena.

I’m in Cabo Verde, one of our strongest partners on the continent, to discuss our work to continue building economic opportunity and prosperity together. Our @MCCgov investments helped renovate the Port of Praia, which in turn boosted competitiveness and created jobs.

Miss ya both! And yes. Incomparable storyteller - 100%.

As I reflect on the miles traveled, countries visited, and intense diplomacy over the past year, I am proud of our work to build stronger partnerships and strengthen global peace and security.

Shabe Yalda, or the Winter Solstice, is the longest night of the year. In Iran and in many countries across the wider region, families gather together to celebrate the beginning of winter and brighter days ahead. Shabe Yalda Mobarak.

Portraits of Diplomacy: 2023

In the days ahead, we will continue to stand with our Israeli partners. As I head to Israel, I will be working to ensure they are equipped to defend themselves and making sure any hostile parties know they must not seek to take advantage of the situation.

Met with senior advisors today to discuss the latest on the terrorist attacks on Israel. We will continue to work to ensure Israel has what it needs to protect its citizens and to secure the release of hostages.
