📰 In a USA TODAY Network Op-Ed, CSA Co-Chairs James Tisch and Harold Hamm highlight the newly-formed, bipartisan Secure America Caucus [co-chaired by Republican Rep. Julie Fedorchak (@RepFedorchak) of North Dakota and Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer (@RepJoshG) of New Jersey] and examine the growing connection between American energy production, national security, and U.S. foreign policy.
They argue that a country that can produce more of its own energy and supply its allies when markets are disrupted has greater freedom to act abroad and greater protection from economic shocks at home. That is the premise behind the bipartisan Secure America Caucus.
In an era of deep political divisions, bringing together lawmakers from different parties and regions who recognize the connection between American natural resources, the role of states, and energy production and national security is a central objective of the Caucus and vital to our national interests.

Drill, baby drill! Americans want energy independence from foreign countries: poll

The Constitution Pipeline in the news this week is the poster child for why we need permit reform.
At 125 miles, its 1/10 the length of other controversial pipelines like Keystone or Dakota. What it does is link Marcellus natural gas production in PA to existing pipeline networks already serving markets from Massachusetts to Maine.
The stated capacity is enough gas to meet the daily needs of 3 million homes in the Northeast.
125 miles for 3 million homes? That's a pretty fair trade off.
For three decades (1979-2011) governments killed a major oil or gas pipeline only about once every ten years
But from 2016 to 2021 one pipeline project a year in the NE cancelled - primarily using the same playbook.
Deny permits, drag out approvals, litigate and wait them out.
We've been trying to build the Constitution pipeline since 2012 - almost 15 years.
This week, the decision was made that reliable energy in Northeast is in the nation's economic and national security interest. Permit reform is in our national interest as well.
The public knows that too. That's why it supports permit reform.
📢 New CSA poll: 67% of Americans support permitting reform to build energy infrastructure, while fewer than 1 in 10 oppose it.
53% say energy independence makes America safer; 57% say it strengthens the economy.

🚨 New polling from the Council for a Secure America finds overwhelming support among Jewish Israeli voters for a strong U.S.–Israel relationship and for advancing the U.S.-led Abraham Accords by expanding peace and normalization with Arab neighbors, even as nearly two-thirds oppose a two-state solution.

سوريا ولبنان يرفضان حزب الله ويتجهان نحو السلام مع إسرائيل.. استطلاعات CSA تكشف تحولات كبرى في الرأي العام
نيويورك – 16 يونيو 202
في مؤشر واضح على تحولات سياسية واجتماعية عميقة في المنطقة، أظهرت استطلاعات رأي حديثة أجراها مجلس أمريكا الآمنة (Council for a Secure America - CSA) أن غالبية السوريين واللبنانيين ينظرون إلى دور حزب الله بعين سلبية، مع تزايد الانفتاح على فكرة السلام والترتيبات الأمنية مع إسرائيل.
وفقاً للاستطلاعين اللذين أجرتهما شركة YouGov باللغة العربية عبر لوحة إلكترونية في الفترة من 26 مايو إلى 1 يونيو 2026، وعينة بلغت 252 بالغاً في سوريا و260 في لبنان (بهامش خطأ ±5%)، يعكس الرأي العام رفضاً متزايداً لنفوذ المليشيات المدعومة إيرانياً، مقابل رغبة في تعزيز سيادة الدولة والاستقرار.
أعرب 68% من السوريين عن رأي سلبي في تورط حزب الله في بلادهم (52% منهم “سلبي جداً”)، مقابل 6% فقط رأوه إيجابياً. ويعتقد 57% أن السلام مع إسرائيل أصبح محتملاً في المستقبل، فيما يدعم 53% موافقة الحكومة السورية الجديدة على ترتيبات أمنية مع إسرائيل.
وقالت جينيفر ساتون، المديرة التنفيذية لمجلس أمريكا الآمنة: "بعد حوالي 18 شهراً من سقوط نظام الأسد، أصدر السوريون حكماً واضحاً على الميليشيا التي ساعدت في إبقاء ذلك النظام في السلطة. أكثر من ثلثي السوريين يصفون تورط حزب الله بأنه ضار، والأغلبية تدعم ترتيبات أمنية رسمية مع إسرائيل"
وفي لبنان، قال 59% من المستطلعين إن الوجود العسكري لحزب الله له تأثير سلبي على أمن البلاد، مقابل 11% فقط رأوه إيجابياً. ولأول مرة، أصبح 41% يرون السلام مع إسرائيل محتملاً (مقابل 27% يرونه غير محتمل). كما يدعم 58% جهود الرئيس جوزيف عون لتعزيز الجيش اللبناني والتفاوض على نزع سلاح حزب الله، بحيث تكون كل القوات المسلحة تحت سلطة الحكومة الشرعية.
وأضافت ساتون: "لسنوات طويلة كان الاعتقاد السائد أن المجتمع اللبناني معارض تماماً لأي علاقة مع إسرائيل. هذه البيانات تهدم هذا الافتراض تماماً".
رغم الاتجاه الإيجابي العام، سجل الاستطلاع تراجعاً في بعض المؤشرات مقارنة باستطلاع يناير 2026، خاصة بين الشباب دون 45 عاماً. انخفض دعم الترتيب الأمني مع إسرائيل من 64% إلى 53%، وتراجع التقييم الإيجابي لدور الولايات المتحدة في الشؤون السياسية والاقتصادية السورية من 65% إلى 51%. ومع ذلك، يبقى الموقف الإيجابي غالبا.
يأتي هذا الاستطلاع في وقت تشهد فيه المنطقة إعادة ترتيب للتحالفات، خاصة بعد التطورات الأخيرة في لبنان وسوريا والاتفاق الأمريكي-الإيراني المعلن. ويشير التقرير إلى أن النفوذ الإيراني عبر وكلائه أصبح محل تنازع داخلي، مما قد يفتح الباب أمام فرص جديدة للتعاون الأمني والدبلوماسي مع الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل لتعزيز الاستقرار في شرق المتوسط.
New CSA polling, featured in a New York Post (@nypost ) exclusive, points to continued shifts in 🇸🇾Syrian and 🇱🇧 Lebanese public opinion amid regional realignment.
The findings highlight growing frustration with 🟨 Hezbollah and increased openness to future peace with 🇮🇱 Israel.

🇸🇾 Syria: NEW @councilsecure poll
Support for President al-Sharaa remains strong and stable.
In the absence of active, public 🇺🇸 U.S. engagement, Syrians still view the U.S. role positively, though support has declined, along with support for a Syria-Israel security arrangement.
Around two-thirds of Syrians continue to view Hezbollah’s involvement in Syria negatively.
Openness to eventual peace with Israel remains stable.

🇱🇧 Lebanon: NEW @councilsecure poll
Despite increased conflict between 🇮🇱 Israel and 🟨Hezbollah since January, negative perceptions of Hezbollah among the Lebanese public have continued to rise.
As 🇺🇸 U.S.-mediated talks between 🇱🇧 Lebanon and 🇮🇱 Israel have continued, more Lebanese now view peace between the two countries as likely.
That shift coincides with a significant drop in opposition to normalization with Israel.
Strong pluralities also believe normalization would help Lebanon’s economy.
