Former governor of South Carolina, US ambassador to the UN and Republican presidential candidate now pledging her support to candidate Donald Trump Nikki Haley posted a tweet on X decrying the current administration’s lack of clarity on Hamas following the recent mass-murder of 6 Israelis and promises by Hamas to murder remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza:
Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American citizen was executed in Gaza. Seven Americans are still being held hostage by the same terrorists who murdered Hersh.
It’s unacceptable. America should demand Hamas and their funders, Iran, release the hostages immediately. Harris and Biden need to acknowledge Hamas is a terrorist organization and treat them like, rather than pressuring Israel.

Vice-president and president of the US Senate Kamala Harris snubbed Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu when he addressed the US Congress assembled earlier this year. She has courted the pro-Hamas protestors at US universities and the large Muslim populations in Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois in order to secure an electoral college victory in November. The Biden-Harris administration has also restricted weapons exports to Israel to pressure Netanyahu into a US-engineered peace plan with Hamas while publicly proclaiming support for Israel’s right to self-defense. The newly-elected Labour Government in the United Kingdom under prime minister Keir Starmer announced this week they were banning weapons sales to Israel as well.
The United States State Department recognized Hamas as a terrorist organization in 1995 under the Bill Clinton administration.
