I think that poses a real risk. And that $100 billion we gave them has been used to underwrite terror groups like Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas. Hamas that attacked Israel on October 7 was funded in part by Iran. And so I think that poses a risk of escalating and spiraling out of control. And we need to support Israel, in my opinion, strongly in its fight, which is a fight not just for Israel's future and its existence, but also for America. (24:08–24:15)
