Congress reacts to the State Department over non-paper on the EastMed pipeline

The US government’s non-paper on the EastMed Gas Pipeline is back in the headlines after Representatives Bilirakis and Malliotakis sent a letter to the State Department in which they pushed back against the Biden administration’s shift in policy on the EastMed Gas Pipeline. The two members of Congress said that in canceling the project the State Department “has unilaterally taken [energy] options off the table,” and have requested an in-person briefing on the issue. Julie Fishman Rayman, the American Jewish Committee’s (AJC) Director of Political Outreach, joins The Greek Current with the latest take on the reactions from Congress to the State Department’s non-paper on the East Med pipeline project and the AJC’s broader view on developments in the Eastern Mediterranean.
