Republican front-runner and former President Donald Trump invited a rash of criticism Thursday in the aftermath of comments he made the night before, criticizing Israel Prime Minister Benjaman Netanyahu and calling the terrorist group Hezbollah "very smart."
"And look, I know the former president was frustrated with Netanyahu; he's been critical over the last two years. ... I consider him a friend, and I'm proud of the relationship that America had under our administration with Israel," Pence added."It's completely lost on us why any American would ever praise an Iran-backed terrorist organization as 'smart,'" White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said.
At the campaign rally, Trump said Netanyahu had "been hurt very badly" by the intelligence failures ahead of the incursion by Hamas.
