Pompeo criticizes Macron's claim that Hamas was never particularly active in West Bank

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to French President Emmanuel Macron's recent remarks about Hamas, calling Macron's claim that Hamas "was never particularly active in the West Bank" an "outrageous" statement. Pompeo said the comment "clearly illustrates the mindset of many of Israel's opponents in the West: a combination of ignorance and deliberate whitewashing of terrorism," describing it as "contemptible."
