Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Tuesday pushed back hard on former President Trump’s description of Hezbollah as “very smart.” McConnell also defended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “great leader” when asked about Trump’s criticism of the Israeli leader. “I can’t disagree more,” McConnell told reporters when asked about Trump’s assertion that Hezbollah is “very smart.” McConnell called Hamas “a terrorist organization just like Hamas.” The Senate Republican leader also praised Netanyahu when asked about Trump’s criticism of the Israeli leader for intelligence lapses ahead of Hamas’s attack on more than Israeli towns around the Gaza Strip.
