Because of the weakness of the White House, we face chaos in the Middle East, our troops are under attack, the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust is taking place, and Americans are still held hostage by Iran-backed Hamas.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Four years ago, we celebrated the signing of the Abraham Accords, a historic step toward peace in the Middle East. Trump AdministrationOn September 15, 2020, President Trump signed these agreements into effect, creating the largest agreement between Israel and Arab countries in modern history. Americans, Israelis, and Arabs were brought together under a shared vision. Cultural, economic, and defense ties were deepened, and the world saw Iran’s greatest fear come true: a more unified and prosperous Middle East. It was peace through strength in action.
As a combat veteran who served in the Middle East, I co-founded the Abraham Accords Caucus to help Congress build on the agreements’ strong foundation. Through this work, I have introduced legislation to strengthen and expand these agreements by establishing an integrated defense system with our allies and partners to protect against Iranian-backed attacks on land and at sea.

Iran using Hells Angels and criminal gangs to target critics in US and abroad: report
Biden-Harris White House The US has refused to lift sanctions on Tehran, allowing the regime to promote and finance its proxy terrorism and hostage diplomacy. Emboldened by this administration’s decisions, Iran-backed Hamas worked to undo the progress made by the Abraham Accords when these terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
And yet, 11 months after the invasion, Israel and the Arab states have demonstrated that they remain committed to the Trump-led agreement despite ongoing tensions in the region. While this is proof that the strength of solidarity behind the Abraham Accords remains alive, we must remain vigilant to ensure that progress is not thwarted by the appeasement of the Biden-Harris administration.
during my Fourth trip to the Middle East Since the October 7 attack, regional leaders have told me they are ready to abandon American leadership. Make no mistake, this is the result of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s decision to abandon our allies and promote our adversaries – starting with the withdrawal from Afghanistan and continuing today.

President Trump brought our partners together and ended Iran’s dream of destruction in the region. Four more years of Kamala Harris would lead to more chaos, put another nail in the coffin of American leadership and destroy agreements.
What is needed at this point is a new commander, not another renegade.
