U.S. Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will preside over a hearing on Tuesday titled, “The U.S. Role and Strategy in the Middle East: The Humanitarian Crisis”. 

The hearing will evaluate the current state of U.S. efforts to address the humanitarian and refugee crisis and how those activities fit into a broader U.S. approach to the Middle East.

This is the second in a series of hearings over the next few weeks in which the committee will be digging even more deeply into the U.S. role and strategy in the Middle East. 

Tuesday’s hearing will feature testimony from policy experts and leading non-governmental relief organizations.
