Blinken, of Hungarian-Jewish heritage, has a personal connection to the issue. At a Meridian event in May, Blinken said, "Any of us, and I start with myself, who had any responsibility for our Syria policy in the last administration, has to acknowledge that we failed  not for want of trying, but we failed. Newly confirmed Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not hesitate to express his agreement with a determination made on the last day of the Trump administration that China's treatment of its Uighur and Muslim minority populations is genocide. He has also reflected on how he is personally haunted by his inability to convince the Obama administration to take action to stop the forced displacement and killing of thousands of Syrian civilians, including by chemical weapons at the hands of Bashar Assad's regime. It remains to be seen how Blinken's history will influence his policy decisions as the nation's top diplomat or the balance he will strike between human rights and America's foreign policy objectives.
