(DECEMBER 21, 2021 / BREITBART) Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo boasted of the Trump administration’s achievements in the Middle East, including brokering monumental peace accords between Israel and Arab states while bringing Iran “to its knees,” as he condemned antisemitism and claimed standing with Israel is a “means to defend American heritage.” He warned that the Biden administration is seeking to “reverse the historic progress we brought to the Middle East.”
Appearing at the Zionist Organization of America’s (ZOA) annual gala on Sunday evening, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was being honored at the event, detailed his “proud” achievements in his previous role while expressing his desire to continue serving as secretary of state, seeing that there is “much work” remaining.
“I was proud to lead in the fight in the defense of Israel, the Jewish people, and the perennial cause of religious liberty,” he said. “You should know I’m going to continue to do so.”
Support for Israel
Pompeo told attendees of the virtual event that their “work in support of Israel has never been more important.”
“Every time I travel to Israel, I’m always overwhelmed by the country and its people,” he said. “It also reminded [me] why it’s so important that we stand with Israel.”
Claiming there is “no more important task of the secretary of state than standing for Israel,” Pompeo claimed his work remained unfinished.
“I’d like to still be secretary of state,” he said. “There was much work to continue to do.”
