In the summer of 1997, Rhodes volunteered with the Rudy Giuliani mayoral campaign.[5] In the summer of 2001, he worked on the New York City Council campaign of Diana Reyna.[7] In 2002, James Gibney, editor of Foreign Policy, introduced Rhodes to Lee Hamilton, former member of the House of Representatives and director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, who was looking for a speechwriter.[7] Rhodes then spent five years as an assistant to Hamilton, helping to draft the Iraq Study Group Report and the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.[11][12]

In 2007, Rhodes began working as a speechwriter for the 2008 Obama presidential campaign.[13]

Rhodes wrote Obama's 2009 Cairo speech "A New Beginning".[14] Rhodes was the adviser who counseled Obama to withdraw support from Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak,[5] becoming a key adviser during the 2011 Arab Spring.[4][10] Rhodes supported Israel in the 2012 Israel–Gaza conflict.[15]

Rhodes was instrumental in the conversations that led to Obama reestablishing the United States' diplomatic relations with Cuba,[16] which had been cut off since 1961. The New York Times reported that Rhodes spent "more than a year sneaking off to secret negotiations in Canada and finally at the Vatican" in advance of the official announcement in December 2014.[17]

After leaving the Obama administration, Rhodes began working as a commentator.[18] He began contributing to Crooked Media, NBC News and MSNBC. In 2018, he co-founded National Security Action.[19]

In 2015-16, Rhodes defended U.S. political and military backing of Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen.[20] He later criticized Trump administration's involvement in the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen.[21][20] He wrote of the war in Yemen, "Looking back, I wonder what we might have done differently, particularly if we’d somehow known that Obama was going to be succeeded by a President Trump."[21]

Rhodes said Obama's administration was too worried about offending Turkey. He said Obama should have recognized the Armenian Genocide.[22]

In 2018, Random House published Rhodes's memoir, The World as It Is, a behind-the-scenes account of Barack Obama's presidency. Rhodes has written opinion articles for newspapers and magazines including the New York Times and The Atlantic.[23][24] Rhodes was featured in the HBO documentary The Final Year, along with John Kerry, Samantha Power and Susan Rice. The documentary portrays the events of Obama's final year in office, with a focus on his foreign policy team.[25]

خلافات

In a controversial profile in The New York Times Magazine, Rhodes was quoted "deriding the D.C. press corps and boasting of how he created an 'echo chamber' to market the administration's foreign policy", including the international nuclear agreement with Iran.[26][27][28] The piece was criticized by numerous journalism outlets for its lack of journalistic integrity and biases against the Iran deal.[29][30][31]

In 2017, it was alleged that Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube attempted to manufacture incriminating or embarrassing information about Rhodes and his wife, as well as fellow former National Security Council staffer Colin Kahl, in an apparent effort to undermine supporters of the Iran nuclear deal. Rhodes said of the incident, "This just eviscerates any norm of how governments should operate or treat their predecessors and their families. It crosses a dangerous line."[32] The effort continued well after the Obama administration ended.[33]
