US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says he believes that in many ways the Hamas terror group is worse than ISIS.
“We’re with you, Mr. Prime Minister, and as the president said, we have your back,” Austin tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a meeting in Tel Aviv. “It’s an awful week… disgusting acts by this terrorist group.”
