If I'm anything, I'm a counterterrorism guy. | |
I was a terrorism prosecutor, did a lot of intel terrorism work, and then my first tour as a civilian in the military was targeting terrorists with our Special Forces guys. | |
So, unfortunately, you have a juxtaposition of two policies involving the Middle East. | |
President Trump obtains the impossible with multiple peace deals with Israel and Middle Eastern countries and African countries. | |
And then fast forward in 120 some plus days in the Biden administration, they're making fun of the peace deals that President Trump achieved. | |
And now Israel and Hamas are basically at a war. | |
And I think that basically shows the difference in leadership. | |
The priorities that President Trump placed on our relationship with Israel and going after terrorist organizations. | |
So make no mistake about it, Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization. | |
That FTO designation, it means something in the US law. | |
It means they are terrorists by law under the United States. | |
And we cripple them with sanctions. | |
We limit their ability to move. | |
Why do we do that? | |
Because they've conducted terrorist activities around the world, killing Americans and American allies. | |
And so it's a very high bar to meet. |
