Haley Campaign Press Release - In Iowa, Haley Keeps Israel Top of Mind

BOONE, Iowa – Today in Ida Grove and Boone, Iowa, Nikki Haley held two town halls, where she emphasized the importance of restoring America's strength, backing Israel in its war with Hamas, and renewing her call to stop giving money to countries that hate America.

During this Iowa swing, Haley called for immediate action from the Biden administration to support Israel in its ongoing war, including:

• Provide Israel with all arms and intelligence it needs to defend itself and destroy the terrorists in its midst.
• Place all regional governments, particularly the government of Lebanon, on notice that they must not allow the use of their territory to engage in this battle.
• End American taxpayer support for all Palestinian entities or United Nations-backed entities that side with Hamas or fail to denounce antisemitic activity.
• Freeze Iranian access to the $6 billion in Qatari banks and send that money to Israel instead. Reimpose and enforce sanctions on Iran and on purchasers of Iranian oil.
