Eliot Engel: “I think that the Palestinians going to the U.N., the way I see it, sets back the cause of peace or a two-state solution…”

The citizens of the Western Balkans want a better future for their children, stronger and transparent democracy, accountable governments, and greater economic prosperity and security.

I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.

We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.

I think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.
