A senior Republican lawmaker told AIPAC members in a closed door meeting last month that the Trump administration’s goal in its Middle East policy was to “marginalize” Palestinians, according to a recording retrieved by the Huffington Post.
“I think the goal here is to marginalize the Palestinians,” said Rep. Michael McCaul (TX-10), who until January served as the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
McCaul spoke of the former administration’s efforts to broker normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim-majority countries.
