Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on Hannity: "America and the West need to wake up."
CHARLESTON, S.C. – On Hannity tonight, Nikki Haley doubled down on her unequivocal support of Israel's right to defend itself and warned that "America and the West need to wake up."
She urged America to provide Israel with all arms and intelligence it needs; place all regional governments on notice to not engage in the war; end U.S. taxpayer support for all Palestinian entities or UN-backed programs that side with Hamas; freeze Iranian access to the $6 billion from Joe Biden's 9/11 deal; and reimpose sanctions on Iran and purchasers of their oil.
On the United Nations...
"...the UN is a farce. We saw the Secretary General come out and say that we should do a ceasefire. And I would say at the Security Council when I was there is, 'would any of you do a ceasefire if this happened to you?' But they expect Israel to act by a certain set of rules. I think Israel needs to eliminate Hamas without question."
On what America needs to do today...
"We should go and tell every government that's within that territory, Lebanon, Syria, that they need to stay out of this. We need to make sure no taxpayer dollars go to any Palestinian entities or any UN entities that support Hamas. We need to make sure that we are focused on giving all the intelligence, ammunition, and equipment Israel needs to be able to finish this. And we need to freeze Iranian assets, the $6 billion, but we also need to go back and put strong sanctions like we had before.
"China is importing more Iranian oil than anyone else. Russia is getting drones and missiles from Iran. These three, Russia, China, and Iran, know exactly what they're doing. America and the West need to wake up because we are too distracted and we can't be so arrogant to think that this can't happen on our soil."
On Iran's involvement...
"We have to stop Iran. Every dollar they get goes to terrorism. We had totally eliminated their economy. This money doesn't go to feed their people, it goes to feed their terrorist behavior. Eliminate their economy, make sure they never get a bomb, stop all the oil that's going to China, stop all the equipment and ammunition that's going to Russia, and bring them to their knees. And we can't stop until we do that. They have been celebrating saying, 'death to Israel, death to America'... They hate us more than they hate Israel. We've got to put an end to this once and for all."
