The neo-con Zionists are looking forward to the return of Brian Hook to the State Department. Hook, who previously worked in the State Department under former President George W. Bush and is now the vice chairman of Cerberus Global Investments, helped to oversee then-President Donald Trump’s so-called “maximum pressure” campaign toward Iran, including punishing sanctions after the U.S. withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, Jewish Insider reported on Nov. 8. He was also a key player on the team that negotiated the Abraham Accords, described as Trump’s “signature” foreign policy achievement.
“I couldn’t think of a better person to lead the transition team given Brian’s experience in senior roles at the State Department,” Mark Dubowitz, the CEO of the (neo-con) Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JI. “His role there suggests that we will be seeing highly qualified and competent people staffing the department who will implement the president’s policies of peace through strength.” Dubowitz is a close friend of Mike Pompeo who, as Trump’s Secretary of State, was the one who put Hook in charge of implementing Trump’s “maximum pressure” sanctions in 2018.
