The appointment of Robert Malley as White House Coordinator for
the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region is not considered a
sufficient indicator that there will be any radical change in U.S. strategy
despite the campaign launched against the U.S. by the Zionists due to its
openness to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Syria and Iran. On 6
March, President Barack Obama's administration appointed Robert Malley, the
former senior director of the National Security Council who dealt with the
Iraqi, Iranian, and Gulf issues, and a member of the delegation negotiating
the Iranian nuclear programme, as the Special White House Coordinator for
the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf region. Malley is scheduled to assume
his new position on 6 April, succeeding Philip Gordon.
