El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, who has Palestinian ancestry, decries Hamas after its attack on Israel.

“The best thing that could happen to the Palestinian people is for Hamas to completely disappear. Those savage beasts do not represent the Palestinians,” Bukele says on the social network X, previously known as Twitter.

“Anyone who supports the Palestinian cause would make a great mistake siding with those criminals.”

He also compares Hamas to the MS-13 gang, which has terrorized El Salvador for years.
