Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, in Sep 2015 found something Donald Trump doesn’t win at - knowing his terrorists. “I’m looking for the next commander-in-chief, to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?” Hewitt asked the 2016 Republican candidate, referring to the respective leaders of Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS. “No," Trump said. "I think by the time we get to office, they’ll be all gone.”
Trump also mixed up the Quds Force, the elite foreign unit of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, with the Kurds - the Middle Eastern ethnic group concentrated in northern Iraq and parts of Iran, Syria and Turkey. “Are you familiar with Gen. Soleimani?” Hewitt asked. “Yes, but go ahead, give me a little, go ahead, tell me.” Trump said. “The Kurds, by the way, have been horribly mistreated by …” “No, not the Kurds, the Quds Forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Forces,” Hewitt explained. “Many people would say he’s the most dangerous man in the world, and he runs the Quds Forces, which is their Navy SEALs," Hewitt elaborated. "Is he the gentleman that was going back and forth with Russia and meeting with Putin?" Trump asked. Hewitt responded: "That’s the guy." (Politico) The point being, Donald Trump is in no position to call the shots on Israel’s dealings with the Palestinians.
