Foreign Policy: Biden uses “veterans” to implement his policy in the Middle East. “Even if Washington’s main focus seems to be on China and getting the United States out of the costly and ongoing wars that have plagued its security for two decades, Joe Biden is one of your ‘pioneers,'” Foreign Policy magazine said in a report. He uses the US State Department, and he brings these specialists to the White House to deal with new developments in the “Middle East.”
The report emphasizes that the Middle East is likely to continue to attract the team’s attention, especially as it seeks to bring Iran back to the nuclear negotiating table and seeks peace in war-torn Yemen.
The website of the American magazine quoted informed sources as saying: 7 new officials have joined the Middle East team of the National Security Council and will submit their reports to Brett McGurk, the council coordinator in the Middle East and North Africa.
Sam Parker as Director of Iran, Zahra Bell as Director of Iraq and Syria, and Max Martin in Lebanon and Jordan, and Josh Harris, a State Department official who served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy in Libya. North Africa joins the Council.
