I am relieved that cooperation by Presidents Biden and Trump and their teams led to a hostage-release/ceasefire deal, and remain committed to seeing all hostages return home to their families. Out of government, I will continue to work to achieve a secure, integrated, peaceful Middle East. 4/4

I was deeply honored by the confidence of Secretary of Defense Austin, and in awe of the men and women of our armed forces and the civilian experts in the Pentagon. I am particularly proud of the work we did with our amazing colleagues in @uscentcom.bsky.social. 2/4

For the past year, I have had the privilege of serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Middle East Policy. It was an unprecedented year of challenge as we dealt with the aftermath of Hamasβ brutal terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 and the seven-front war that followed. 1/4
