August 24, 2024

Joint Staff Spokesperson Navy Capt. Jereal Dorsey provided the following statement:

“Since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza, U.S. objectives have been clear: to protect our forces, ensure Israel has what it needs to defend itself, and to deter a broader conflict. As part of a whole-of-government approach to achieve these objectives, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., has routinely engaged with allies and partners in the Middle East to include a recent phone call with the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces and hosting an official counterpart visit for the United Arab Emirates Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces.

Over the next few days, the Chairman will visit key allies and partners in the region, Egypt, Jordan and Israel, as a display of the long-term U.S. commitment to the Middle East and to further his understanding of the various perspectives of on-going tensions. In each country, the Chairman is scheduled to meet with his counterparts and other officials for discussions. Gen. Brown will continue to stress the importance of deterring further escalation of hostilities, protecting U.S. forces in the region, U.S. support of Israel’s self-defense, and a coordinated effort in providing humanitarian assistance to the civilians. 

As ceasefire negotiations continue, the Chairman’s visit is reflective of the importance of reaching an agreement that returns the hostages, ends the violence, and allows the entire region to focus on the next steps toward a more secure, stable Middle East.”
