2024 ELECTION/ISRAEL/JOE BIDEN: “The White House on Thursday condemned former President Donald Trump for describing Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, as ‘very smart.’
In a statement, White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said that although it doesn’t typically comment on the 2024 presidential race, Trump’s remarks were ‘dangerous and unhinged.’ […]
In remarks at a Club 47 event in West Palm Beach, Trump blamed President Joe Biden for the deadly Israel-Hamas war by baselessly claiming that the Biden administration had funded the attacks with the $6 billion in oil revenue it recently unfroze as a result of a prisoner exchange with Iran, which has historically funded both Hamas and Hezbollah.”
