Waltz (R-FL-6) 05/09/2023: Twitter thread – “Just back from the Middle East with the House Intel Committee.  Meetings with Israel's PM Bibi Netanyahu, Jordan's King Abdullah, Egyptian President el-Sisi, and the Palestinian Authority. My key takeaways in thread below 👇 Bibi: Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon will "change history." Not only is it an existential threat to Israel but it will spark a nuclear arms race across the region that is a mortal threat to the world. Bibi (cont.): Expanding the Abraham Accords will be a "quantum leap" for peace, will bring several more countries into normalization w Israel & will be the catalyst needed for negotiations w Palestinians. Vague answers to our questions on how, & if, he proceeds w judicial reform. King Abdullah: Jordan remains a critical partner in the region for US diplomacy & counterterrorism. Their economy is in a difficult place. King Abdullah (cont.): Jordan's likely to join the UAE & Saudi in pulling Assad back into the Arab League as a hedge against Iran though the King would like more concessions in return such as Assad stemming the exploding drug trade that is devastating Jordanian youth. President el-Sisi: Frustrated with the int'l community on Sudan. Egypt already has 4.5M refugees & is accepting more. The key to Sudan is stopping regional actors from backing either side and causing a regional proxy war. President el-Sisi (cont.): With the war in Ukraine cutting off wheat & global inflation, Egypt's economy is very precarious. Cooperation w Israel on Gaza issues remains strong. President el-Sisi (cont.): He repeatedly asked if the Middle East is better off post Arab Spring w Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, & Iraq in open civil war or destabilized. Palestinian Authority: Hamas & Iran are advancing their position in the West Bank. The PA could be heading for collapse under current financial restrictions from Israel & unpopularity w people. Palestinian Authority (cont.): They remain committed to non-violence but must have something to show for it—namely a pathway to some resolution to their final status as a state.”
