According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Bloomberg, Michael Allen, the Managing Director of Beacon Global Strategies and former National Security Advisor to President George W. Bush, stated that the United States' erratic approach to the Iran issue has confused both the American public and its opponents in the Middle East region. He also discussed the preliminary agreement for the reconstruction of Gaza, noting that it seems less likely to be implemented on paper, but the president and his team deserve praise for attempting it.
