El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele compared Hamas to MS-13 while defending his refusal to return a US resident and supporting Donald Trump's controversial prison plan. Bukele's comments have drawn criticism, as he himself is of Palestinian descent and has expressed pro-Israel sentiments in the past. The president's stance on gang activity and terrorism has raised eyebrows, especially considering his family history and background. Bukele's deportation deals with the Trump administration have also led to concerns about human rights violations and the potential use of his prisons for US citizens.
