Shafaq News/ US Congressman JoeWilson has called for an official investigation into Brett McGurk, the MiddleEast director at the National Security Council in the Biden administration,accusing him of "failed" Middle East policies that have endangered USnational security.
In a letter to the newlyappointed chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Brian Mast, theRepublican congressman requested that McGurk be summoned to testify beforeCongress.
Wilson stated in the letter,"The fact that someone consistently fails in ways that have jeopardizedAmerican national security and continues to shape policy across administrationshighlights a significant issue within the foreign policy establishment."
McGurk has been involved in USMiddle East policy for decades, starting with the George W. Bushadministration's decision to intervene in Iraq. Under President Barack Obama(2009-2017), McGurk led US efforts to support the global coalition againstISIS. However, he resigned during President Donald Trump's first term(2017-2021) over the withdrawal of US troops from the mission in northwesternSyria.
More recently, under PresidentJoe Biden, McGurk has advocated for a regional policy that returns to the"basics" and moves away from the "hawkish" stanceestablished by the Bush and Obama administrations during the Iraq War and Arabuprisings.
In his letter to Mast, Wilsonaccused McGurk of leading US efforts to "normalize" relations withthe Assad regime, despite the lack of official recognition. Wilson also pointedto the growing acceptance of Syria back into the Arab fold by Washington's Arabpartners.
