FORMER Klang MP Charles Santiago has sharply criticised the US’ role in global peace efforts, arguing that the country lacks the moral authority to mediate conflicts due to its foreign policy being heavily influenced by the Jewish lobby.
Santiago accused the US of consistently prioritising Israel’s interests, claiming that US presidents are held “ransom” by the lobby in exchange for political support.
Santiago’s remarks were in response to US Ambassador Edgard D. Kagan’s recent interview titled “Arms Supply and Peace: US Ambassador Discusses the West Asia Conflict,” in which Kagan noted Israel’s security.
“US has no moral standing to broker peace anywhere. Its foreign policy is run by the Jewish lobby that has held US presidents ransom in exchange for political support. The US has always done Israel’s bidding, and so, what ‘shared values’ are you hallucinating about Kagan?,” Santiago wrote on X.
