Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Mahmoud Khalil’s refusal to condemn Hamas shows he “clearly” endorses the terrorist group’s actions.

Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist detained and released by the Trump administration, declined to say if he opposes Hamas on Tuesday, saying he does not support “selective condemnation.” In response, Noem said Hamas’s charter has demonstrated targeting the Jewish population “for years,” and Khalil had an opportunity to let the nation know “exactly” where he stands on the Gaza conflict.
