Right-wing commentator Steve Bannon has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump's Central Intelligence Agency director John Ratcliffe, accusing him of providing false information about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. On his podcast, Bannon called for Ratcliffe's resignation, alleging that the agency misled Trump's chief hostage negotiator and skewed intelligence in favor of Israeli interests. Bannon also targeted Trump's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, labeling him an embarrassment. These remarks come as a recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas collapsed, resulting in renewed violence and casualties, and raising doubts about the future of the peace deal brokered by the Trump administration.
