White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby blasted UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Martin Griffiths this week after he claimed that Hamas wasn’t a terrorist group. Griffiths says Hamas is a “political movement.”
Griffiths made the comment during a Sky News interview.
