Secretary Pompeo: “The JCPOA permitted the Iranian regime to use the money from the JCPOA to boost the economic fortunes of a struggling people, but the regime’s leaders refused to do so. Instead, the government spent its newfound treasure fueling proxy wars across the Middle East and lining the pockets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hizballah, Hamas, and the Houthis.” #Iran #PompeoAtHeritage

U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and his wife visited a Chabad (ultra-Orthodox) synagogue and workshop in advance of the #Passover holiday. The holiday is in commemoration and celebration of the Israelites escaping bondage in Egypt. One of the most recognizable facets of the holiday is the eating of matzah in memory of the speed with which the Israelites left Egypt- in order to be considered kosher for the holiday, matzah must be baked less than 18 minutes. The Chabad rabbis take it upon themselves to bake matzah that has been specially supervised to ensure it meets all kosher standards, for distribution all over the world for celebrants of the holiday.

“The United States is committed to its role as a global leader on humanitarian issues. We understand the importance and necessity of humanitarian assistance, even as we work to preclude the crises that spawn the need for assistance. By helping those who bear the brunt of war, natural disaster, or the failure of good governance and policy, we preserve that chance for a more prosperous and more peaceful world for generations to come.” -Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan’s keynote address on U.S. support for humanitarian assistance at the @usipeace.
