Nikki Haley met with and consoled an Israeli community that had been ravaged by the Hamas terror massacre, during a Memorial Day trip to the Israel-Gaza border.
“What I will tell all Israelis: America is with you. Americans are with you — 1,200 people were brutally murdered. Let’s not forget what happened on Oct. 7,” she said in a video posted on X by MK Danny Danon.
“Because Hamas has said they’re going to do it again. We owe it to make sure it never happens again,” Haley continued.
Her visit included the Kibbutz Nir Oz, which was brutally targeted by Hamas on Oct. 7, where she spoke to nearby survivors who recounted their painful and emotional experiences.
Footage showed her appearing to wipe tears away as she heard horrific tales from survivors.
Haley emphasized Israel’s commitment to preserving human life and the need to eliminate Hamas. “If there’s anything I’ve known over the years, [it’s that] Israel values human life just as much as America does, just as much. And what they are having to do now is surgical, to go in there and make sure they eliminate Hamas. They need to finish Hamas. Don’t stop until they finish. But also make sure that security is intact so that it never never happens again from Hamas or anybody else.”
Haley also spoke strongly about non-Hamas Palestinians who have participated in violence, stating, “It was not just Hamas that did these murders. It was not just Hamas that did all of these atrocities. [Normal] Palestinians came over and contributed and were a part of this. Palestinians came over and took hostages and robbed these homes and did things. And that needs to be told.”
Haley praised President Trump’s foreign policy, particularly his support for Israel.
“We had a strong America. That was the goal. The goal was to make sure we knew who our friends were and we knew who our enemies were.” She highlighted Trump’s decisions to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and defund UNRWA as examples of his strong support for Israel.
“I hope, in his next Administration, that he remembers who his friends are, who his enemies are, and don’t let that waver, because that’s what’s important,” Haley added.
Haley attributed blame for the massacre on Russia, China, and Iran.
“China’s been funding Iran the entire time. Russia’s intelligence helped them know where everything was. Iran helped get them trained. So this isn’t Hamas. If we really mean it’s never going to happen again, we have to be honest and truthful with ourselves who did this.”
She is a good woman; God bless her and all of Israel's (real) friends.
