Recently, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) visited Jordan, Iraq, and Tunisia to engage with key diplomatic and military leaders spearheading the fight against ISIL. Frankel traveled to these countries to better inform her work on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee.

"Terrorism and financial hardship grip the Middle East," Frankel said. "It's clear that strong American leadership is needed to help defeat terrorist groups and brutal regimes, address the growing humanitarian crisis, and rebuild the economic fabric of countries in turmoil. This is necessary for our security at home as well as allies around the world."

During her six-day tour, Frankel met with various local governmental and tribal leaders, U.S. troops and aid workers, and Syrian refugees.
