In Syria... a group has taken over. These are not guys that would necessarily pass an FBI background check per se.

But if there's an opportunity in Syria, if there is an opportunity in Syria to create a more stable place than what we've had historically, especially under Assad, where Iran and Russia dominated and where ISIS operated with impunity, We need to pursue that opportunity and see where that leads.

And if you have a region in which you have a more stable Syria, a more stable Lebanon, where Hezbollah is not able to do the things it does on behalf of Iran, a weakened Iran, who's now lost all of these proxies, it now opens the door to things like a deal between Saudi Arabia in Israel, which would change the dynamic of the region.

And then ultimately not make easy, but make easier resolving some of these challenges that we face with the Palestinian question and in particular with the Gaza question. So there's a lot of work to be done there. None of it is certain, all of it is hard, but real opportunities that we couldn't have even imagined 90 days ago.

Look, the president has, The president has the authority to make those decisions and to execute those orders. I can tell you they're all were run through the process that exists for assessing threat versus cost. That process was executed on. There was agreement that this was something that could be done. I've never taken lightly.

And if circumstances change and new threats emerge or additional threats emerge, that will always be an option to address. But if you look at some of it, it's also not sustainable. I mean, theoretically, Iran decided or things got out there that Iran wanted to continue to kill people. We would have to provide everybody a security detail. So there's a balance there.

No, I mean, we didn't issue a pullback. We issued a clarification. We always said from the very beginning, with the exception of Israel and Egypt, because the security assistance is a cornerstone of that Camp David Accords and the deals that were made there and are critical to that region. With the exception of that, we said all foreign aid is paused for 90 days, except for things that save lives.
