up until October 7th. A week before, the National Security Advisor was writing that their disciplined approach

  1. 'freeing up' resources from the Middle East for other global priorities
  2. ,
  3. reduces the risk of new Middle Eastern conflicts

  4. ensures that U.S. interests are protected on a far more sustainable basis

  5. we have de-escalated crises in Gaza

  6. restored direct diplomacy between the parties (Israel and Palestinians) after years of its absence
  7. .


List is based of his Foreign Affairs article - the hard copy one. The online version, which came on line after October 7th, was revised to remove a good deal of that material.
