In a recent interview, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, expressed her unwavering support for Israel and condemned Hamas for their brutal attacks. The interviewer raised concerns about the proportionality of the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) operations in Gaza following an attack on Israel on October 7th.
Haley began by recalling a speech she made at the United Nations five years ago, where she warned about the potential dangers posed by Hamas. She highlighted that the attack on October 7th proved her fears to be true as innocent lives were lost and Americans were taken hostage. Haley emphasized that Israel's security is not only an Israeli issue but also an American concern since 33 Americans were killed in the attack.
