She added that Bahrain’s $17 billion investment will create 13,000 jobs in the United States.
She said efforts are being made to ease tensions between Syria and Israel, and Syria is being urged to withdraw its forces from conflict areas. The tensions between Israel and Syria, she noted, stemmed from a misunderstanding.
Tammy Bruce also stated that negotiations on the Gaza issue are continuing, and a framework is being developed to ensure the implementation of ceasefire terms. She held Hamas responsible for the recent casualties in Gaza.
The State Department spokesperson further said that President Trump is not happy with Russia’s behavior, and he wants the Russia-Ukraine conflict to be resolved through diplomacy. She mentioned that the objective behind lifting sanctions on Syria is to encourage investment there.
