Representative Brian Mast (R-Fla.) has been selected as the new Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Mast, a strong supporter of Israel and a former volunteer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), is known for his pro-Israel stance and his efforts to combat anti-Israeli demonstrators. Shortly after the October 7 attacks, he arrived at Congress wearing his IDF military uniform. Mast has also proposed disbanding UNRWA and is quoted as saying, 'Do you know where we [America] stand with terrorists? We stand on their throats.' His selection has been met with praise from various quarters, with many highlighting his commitment to foreign policy and national security. Mast's military background and advocacy for strong foreign relations are expected to influence the committee's direction under his leadership.
