“I think every CIA station chief in the Middle East woke up this morning with a migraine headache, because there’s a potential for a generational counterterrorism nightmare here,” Polymeropoulos said.
Trump’s reported proposal to turn the devastated region into the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. “ownership” has been met with worldwide scorn, in no small part because it could escalate tensions in the region and endanger the chances of a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinian population.
It could also have immediate dire consequences for Americans, according to Polymeropoulos.
