"There will be a $1 billion request coming to the Pentagon this week from the (Israeli) defense minister to replenish the Iron Dome and a few other things, to upgrade the system," Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters in Jerusalem.

ROZs in Pakistan, Afghanistan to usher in political stability: US Senator


Top Story
May 20, 2021
ISLAMABAD: Democratic US Senator Chris Van Hollen has said the Reconstruction Opportunity Zones (ROZs) in Pakistan and Afghanistan border regions will help usher in political stability and block the way for elements like al-Qaeda and ISIS after US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Karachi born Senator Van Hollen said so in virtual conference on the Pakistan-Afghanistan Economic Development Act with the Pakistani and US journalists which was hosted by Pak origin Democratic leader Tahir Javed. It’s a bipartisan bill sponsored by Senator Van Hollen and other members of US congress. In response to another question, the Senator said that the bill does not aim to displace CPEC and in fact he had proposed this bill way back around 15 years back. He said he and colleagues have revived the effort to introduce these incentives to business in Pakistan and Afghanistan to promote employment and business activity to limit the likely chaos after US exit.
