Does NYT know what sovereignty is? This framing is insane. “What Israel calls its security zone” is Syrian land, which Israel is illegally occupying and now bombing because they told them to leave. That’s not a “new policy,” it’s a series of crimes.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵
