Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) has branded the Palestinian group Hamas the “face of evil” while criticizing United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres who this week condemned Israel’s response to the surprise attack on the nation.

Mr. McCaul, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, made the comments to The Epoch Times during the Republican conference on Oct. 9 where lawmakers had gathered in an effort to elect a new House Speaker following Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) ousting last week.
