Former UN Ambassador and current 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley penned an op-ed for The New York Post over the weekend stressing the importance of showing strength on the world stage.
“To achieve peace, the most important thing we can do right now is help Israel eliminate Hamas, as fast and as fully as possible,” Haley wrote. “Swift and decisive victory in the Gaza Strip would stop a broader war in the Middle East. It would also send the best possible signal to Russia and China. Our enemies fear nothing more than a strong America, standing with its friends.”
Haley blasted Biden’s call for a “humanitarian pause” is Gaza.
“A pause is another way of saying cease-fire, and it puts Israel’s military and hostages in more danger, not less,” Haley wrote. “There should be no cease-fire. There should be peace — the peace that comes from Israel’s total victory over Hamas. Such a peace would leave both Israelis and Palestinians better off. And it would strike fear into the hearts of America’s enemies, fostering the broader peace that keeps Americans safe.”
If elected, Haley says she would prioritize wiping out Hamas.
“The first step is giving Israel everything it needs to wipe out Hamas,” she said. “The war in Gaza must not become mired down like the war in Ukraine. It is in America’s and the region’s best interest for Israel to win quickly and fully.”
Haley also said the “I” word that Biden is afraid to invoke.
“It is the Iranian economy that feeds Iran’s terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East,” Haley wrote. “Cut off the Iranian economy and we cut off the supply of weapons to terrorists. And when Iran attacks American troops, we must not ignore it, like Biden does.”
