Senior US official: IS could replace Hamas
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpeaking at a high-level security conference in Aspen, Colorado, outgoing US Defense Intelligence Agency head Michael Flynn warns against the dangers of toppling Hamas, saying what may replace them could be even worse.
“If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse. The region would end up with something much worse,” Flynn, a lieutenant general, tells the conference, according to Reuters.
He warns that with Hamas out of the picture, the Islamic State, or something like the brutal Islamist group ruling over parts of Syria and Iraq, could take its place.
