Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized Nikki Haley's comments and argued Gazans are taught to hate Jews and oppose Israel.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tore into 2024 GOP rival Nikki Haley for 'trying to be politically correct' amid the war in Israel, insisting he would not 'import' Gazan refugees taught to 'hate Jews.' Speaking to NBC News Now, DeSantis responded to Haley’s comments on CNN over the weekend when the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said, 'There are so many of these people who want to be free from this terrorist rule. They want to be free from all of that.
'If you look at the textbooks, Israel is not on the map of the Middle East, and so this is embedded in the culture. I think it’s a very toxic culture. I think that’s part of the reason Gaza turned to Hamas.' FLASHBACK: NIKKI HALEY WARNED UNITED NATIONS OF HAMAS THREAT TO ISRAEL, SOUGHT TO LABEL TERROR GROUP 'They elected Hamas. There’s a lot of support for Hamas there. So that’s a very toxic culture, and I worry about importing that to our country,' DeSantis said.
