A former adviser to the Trump administration has resigned from his position as an adviser to a Republican candidate for congress following a deleted X/Twitter post he made last week calling for the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) to drop napalm over where Irish peacekeepers are currently stationed in Lebanon.

On Sunday, October 6, Matthew RJ Brodsky, who previously advised the Trump administration’s Middle East peace team and the White House’s Palestinian-Israeli peace team, quote-tweeted a post from a X/Twitter user mapping the areas in south Lebanon in which Irish peacekeepers are currently positioned.
