Trump's pick for US ambassador to Kuwait grilled by lawmakers on Israel

Amer Ghalib, Donald Trump's nominee for US ambassador to Kuwait, faced intense questioning from lawmakers during his confirmation hearing. The mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, was on the defensive over past social media posts and outspoken criticism of Israel. Senators specifically grilled Ghalib on his comments calling reports of sexual violence by Hamas a "campaign of lies and deception." His confirmation is facing significant obstacles after his past statements were amplified by the Anti-Defamation League and other right-wing outlets.
