Nikki Haley, when serving as U.N. ambassador, pushed the international body to take tougher action on Hamas -- years before the group would launch a terror attack on Israel.
Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, in 2018, warned the United Nations Security Council about the terror threat the Iran-backed Hamas posed to Israel, while also seeking to label it a terror group both in the chamber and the General Assembly -- but the efforts were snubbed or shut down by other members. Haley, serving as the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in 2018, told the body that Hamas 'has been inciting violence for years,' long before the U.S.
Haley, who is now running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, also introduced a resolution in the Security Council in June 2018 that would have labeled Hamas a terror group. The U.S. was the sole vote in favor, with other countries either abstaining or voting against. Russia, which backs Iran, has veto power on the council. The Council has still failed to sanction Hamas or label it a terror group.
This week, the UN's top human rights official called for both Israel Defense Forces and Hamas to 'respect international humanitarian law' and defuse tensions. He also criticized Israel's 'full siege' of Gaza. 'They must immediately cease attacks targeting civilians and attacks expected to cause disproportionate death and injury of civilians or damage to civilian objects,' Turk said. Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan took am at how the U.N. had handled the crisis.
The U.N.'s response to Israel's early warning to the residents of Gaza is shameful,' Erdan told Fox News Digital. 'For many years, the U.N. has turned a blind eye to the arming of Hamas and its use of the civilian population and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip as a hiding place for its weapons and murder.
