Obama's foreign policy has left the Middle East, indeed the world, in chaos and confusion. From Libya to Syria to Iraq, the Obama doctrine has left millions either dead or fighting for their very lives," said Congressman Rothfus. "Today's actions will only embolden terrorists and result in more deaths. As long as the Palestinians refuse to return to the negotiation table, there will be no peace. Lasting peace cannot be dictated by Barack Obama or the UN. Instead, any peaceful solution will only be attained by active and mutual participation by both the Palestinians and Israel," Rothfus continued. "I am confident that House Republicans and the Trump Administration will move quickly to do everything possible to restore and heal our relationship with Israel and our friends in the Middle East,” said Congressman Rothfus. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
