    U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stressed the need for a political solution to the Israel-Hamas conflict, warning that without one, the entire population of Gaza could become "radicalized," leaving no future prospects for peace. Speaking at an event with Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer, Sullivan highlighted the unprecedented U.S. involvement in humanitarian aid during the conflict but noted that the government is always striving to do more in war zones like Gaza. He also addressed the threat of an ISIS resurgence following the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, stating that ISIS is actively seeking opportunities to reconstitute and pose a global threat. Sullivan further emphasized the importance of cooperation between the outgoing Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration to present a unified message to both allies and adversaries in the Middle East. This cooperation is seen as essential for maintaining U.S. influence and stability in the region.
