  • Sullivan said at the 2024 Reagan National Defense Forum yesterday, when asked if he was hopeful of reaching a deal in Gaza: "I have now learned not to use the word “hopeful” and “Middle East” in the same sentence.

  • Trump's position may clash with senior Republican foreign policy hawks. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-TX) said: “It is vital the international community continue working to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS and other terrorist organizations,”
