Chris Murphy: “We cannot ignore the lack of coherent American leadership in the region.”

I’ve been a vocal critic of Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince. But, I think it’s important to be here to disagree and be honest and candid about those disagreements.

It’s important to recognize there are things we need to work on together: ending the war in Iran and a pathway to Palestinian statehood.

It’s important for the Crown Prince to hear not just from the Trump Administration, but from people who want a different path.

With Democrats on the verge of regaining control in Washington, it’s imperative that we offer a new approach to our policy in the Gulf that reflects America’s interests.
