Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley in IA: "You can't destroy what God has blessed—and God has blessed Israel."

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Tonight in Sioux City, Iowa, Nikki Haley began her town hall addressing Hamas' war against Israel and condemning the crimes against humanity committed against the Israeli people.

"I won't sugar coat that I've got a heavy heart today. You can't look at the news and not feel just incredibly sad and concerned. And know that sometimes God sends us messages and we need to start getting focused on what we need to be doing and how we need to be doing it and move forward.

"...Just imagine what's going on in Israel today. They woke up yesterday and communities were bombarded, families were murdered, kids were taken out of their homes, taken hostage, elderly were taken hostage, women were dragged down the streets. And as all this was happening, the terrorists that were doing this were saying, 'Death to Israel, death to America.' That's what I want you to keep with you: 'Death to Israel, death to America.'

"...Israel's about to take on a really tough time. What I hope that you will remember... with all of these issues, whether it's Israel and the Iranian regime, because Iran is the one that's behind this regardless of what Antony Blinken says. Whether it's Ukraine and Russia. Whether it's the issues with China. Whether it's North Korea. We always have to remember the importance of moral clarity. Knowing the difference between right and wrong and knowing the difference between good and evil. That's what we're faced with right now.

"We have to stand with Israel against this evil, we have to... I will just say prayers for strength, prayers for determination, and prayers for healing for our brothers and sisters in Israel, because I think that they're going to need it. I have always said, and I strongly believe, you can't destroy what God has blessed—and God has blessed Israel."
