Excerpt:
Sebastian Gorka, a senior staffer at the White House until last week, came to the defense on Sunday of H.R. McMaster, President Donald Trump's national security adviser who last month endured a far-right campaign against him over his posture toward Israel.
In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Gorka said he had not once heard H.R. McMaster speak critically of the state in his six months since taking office.
"I'm not here to feed stories of palace intrigue – I hate that, and I'm still loyal to the president and his agenda," Gorka said. But "I have never heard Gen. McMaster say things that are anti-Israeli. I've never heard that."
