The U.S. special envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, said America’s interests weren’t aligned with any country in the Middle East, including Israel, during an interview with the National News’s On the Record with Hadley Gamble.
“If we’ve talked about trust, quite honestly, in this business, I don’t trust any of them. Our interests are not aligned. ‘Ally’ is a mistaken word. Our interests are not aligned,” he said.
When Gamble interjected to ask if he was referring to the Syrian regime, he said he was referring to the whole region generally. She then asked if that included Israel, to which he responded, “Absolutely.”
Despite his criticisms of Israel, he predicted that the U.S. position on the Jewish state wouldn’t change anytime soon.
