他是以色列的坚定支持者
Kirk also garnered backlash for his support to Israel, backing its nearly two-year campaign in Gaza. He was described by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday as a "lion-hearted friend of Israel."
Netanyahu said he spoke to him two weeks ago and invited him to visit Israel.
"[Kirk] fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization," Netanyahu said. "His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact."
On July 28, Kirk
posted a video on X saying "No, Israel is not starving Gazans," amid calls from humanitarian organizations to
avert further starvation and famine in the region.
