Peloni: The claim made below suggesting that there is no significant military presence by Hamas in Gaza while Israel continues its “relentless seige” demonstrates a clear bias on Boulos’ part to preserve what remains of Hamas going forward, as it is in fact against Hamas that Israel’s actions in the North are directed against. For such a key member of Trump’s inner circle to hold such an ill informed opinion, is particularly concerning. Recalling how impossible it was for Trump to fire his son in law during his first term, this presents an importantly worrisome outlook for Trump’s administration, even with the many important allies of Israel staffing many key positions. Trump should not have picked Boulos.
