10/23/19 - Sen. Cruz posted the following to Facebook: "Any halt to hostilities in Syria is welcome news. I have said before that Turkey’s incursion is totally unacceptable, and Turkey needs to cooperate with the United States to address its security interests in northeast Syria. This invasion endangered our Kurdish partners, and unfortunately now risks a resurgence of ISIS. The United States should stand by our Kurdish allies, who have a long history of standing with America against our enemies, and try to stop the chaos that ISIS fighters are taking advantage of by escaping prison. --> https://bit.ly/2BBjrZ9" View the Facebook post here.

10/07/19 - Sen. Cruz posted the following to Facebook: "Defeating ISIS and destroying their so-called caliphate was a major victory, and the President is right to want to bring our soldiers home. We don't leave our troops in foreign theaters forever, but we still have major national security interests in Syria.

We cannot allow ISIS to return. Right now some 15,000 ISIS fighters remain in Iraq and Syria, and Idlib Province has a higher concentration of terrorists than any location in last 40 years.

It would also be DISGRACEFUL if we sat idly by while Turkey slaughters the Kurds, as public reports suggest that Turkish leader Erdogan explicitly told President Trump he intends to do. Kurds risked their lives—for many years—to fight alongside us. Our enemies and rivals (Iran, Russia, etc.) don’t abandon their allies; if we want allies to stand with America in the future, we shouldn’t either. Honorable nations stand by their friends."
