Is Tom Barrack fit to represent America in the Middle East?
When an American envoy says antisemitism “didn’t exist," suggests Zionism became a problem in 1948 and repeatedly gives Israel's adversaries the benefit of the doubt, the question is no longer one unfortunate choice of words. It is one of judgment. Opinion.
The United States has updated travel advisories for Americans in the Middle East, citing a threat of increased regional aggression from Iran-aligned Houthi forces. According to Middle East Eye, these security alerts cover several countries, including Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
People Daily Kenya reports that the Houthi movement is expanding its attacks on oil infrastructure and airports in Saudi Arabia. This has increased pressure on the world's largest crude exporter and heightened the risk of a wider confrontation in the Middle East. Following repeated attacks, Saudi Aramco has directed staff to work remotely and leave its headquarters in Dhahran.
