Greenblatt: Hamas attack kites are not metaphors for freedom

US President Donald Trump's envoy to the Middle East, Jason Greenblatt, condemned Hamas on Tuesday for launching incendiary kites from Gaza.

"Hamas attack kites are not harmless playthings or metaphors for freedom. They are deployed as propaganda and indiscriminate weapons," Greenblatt tweeted.

"Since the recent outbreak of violence, Hamas attack kites have started hundreds of fires, destroyed thousands of acres and wasted millions of dollars," the envoy added.
