The Washington Examiner quotes Rafik Hariri Center Resident Fellow Faysal Itani on Secretary John Kerry’s diplomatic efforts in the Middle East:
Kerry has shuttled to the region 14 times — more than half of the 26 overseas trips he’s taken in a little more than a year on the job — according to a running tally on the State Department’s website.
“He has tremendous confidence in his capabilities to bring changes about – even when that confidence collides with the realities,” said Faysal Itani, a fellow with the Atlantic Council, a centrist foreign policy think tank.
