Senate candidate Khaled Salem, an Egyptian-born American who is running as a Democrat against Sen. Chuck Schumer in the 2020 mid-term election, is urging Israel to take definitive action against Hezbollah and Hamas.

In a press release issued Tuesday, Salem, who serves as CEO of the American Human Rights organization, said that not only did Hamas and Hezbollah pose a threat to Israel, but also to peace in the entire Middle East.

"Israel should end these two entities," Salem shared. "It would do them a world of good, while making the entire area more stable."

Salem's message expressed surprise and disappointment that the two groups were based in countries that receive aid from the international community.

"This matter must end immediately, so the world can also cut Iran's wings in the Middle East," he said.

Salem is also urging Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and leaders of other Arab countries to release all Americans detained on their soil as soon as possible. He is encouraging the Biden administration to take a firm stance on not allowing any Americans to be detained in the Middle East.

As far as US policy in the Middle East as a whole, Salem favors reduced US military activity and presence the region.
