A speech in support of Israel by new U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley went viral on social media on Monday.
Following the U.N. Security Council’s monthly discussion on the Middle East, in which Haley participated for the first time as the U.S. representative, she convened a press conference Thursday at which she said she had been surprised to discover that the discussion had not covered Hezbollah’s illegal missile armament, Iran’s funding and arming terrorist organizations, ways to defeat the Islamic State group, or how Syrian President Bashar Assad could be held accountable for the slaughters of hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians.
“No, instead the meeting focused on criticizing Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East,” Haley said.
“I might be new here, but I understand that this is how the Security Council has behaved month after month for decades. I am here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel. I’m here to emphasize the United States is determined to stand up to the UN’s anti-Israel bias. We will never repeat the terrible mistake of Resolution 2334 and allow one-sided Security Council resolutions to condemn Israel. Instead, we will push for action on the real threats we face in the Middle East.
“We stand for peace. We support a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is negotiated directly between the two parties.”
