Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on Hannity: "Support Israel. Eliminate Hamas. Bring Americans Home."

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Tonight, presidential candidate Nikki Haley reiterated her unequivocal support for Israel and outlined what should be America's three priorities: Support Israel. Eliminate Hamas. Bring American hostages home.

On what America needs to do...

"First of all, I said this on your show last time, wait until this starts and everybody's going to blame Israel for everything that happens. But the key is, don't fall for it. Israel needs to do what Israel needs to do. What Biden needs to focus on, and what I would focus on are three things: Support Israel, eliminate Hamas, and do everything we can to get the hostages out. Period. Don't talk about restraint. Don't talk about a ceasefire.

"...when the blame goes to Israel, don't listen to it. This is Hamas at work. Remember, Hamas was the one that did the brutality. Hamas is the one that's going to try and make this look like Israel. We need to have Israel's back unapologetically. No questions asked."

On Hamas-supporting countries needing to take in refugees...

"I stopped all U.S. taxpayer money going to the Palestinian refugees when I was at the United Nations. This is something that I always said—the Arab countries, it was their responsibility, not the American taxpayer's responsibility. And when it comes to the refugees, the Hamas-supporting countries should be the ones that take them. Qatar, Iran, and Turkey — those are the three countries that should take any refugees."
