Nikki Haley is attacking fellow GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy for advocating for ending U.S. aid to Israel, as she warms up for a faceoff on the debate stage Wednesday.
for advocating for ending U.S. aid to Israel, as she warms up for a faceoff on the debate stage Wednesday.is completely wrong to call for ending America’s special bond with Israel,” said Ms. Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. “Supporting Israel is both the morally right & strategically smart thing to do.”, a biotech millionaire and political novice who has been rising in the polls.
Mr. Ramaswamy called his plan for the Middle East the “Abraham Accords 2.0,” referring to the historic agreement brokered by former President Trump in which the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain recognized Israel’s sovereignty. Mr. Ramaswamy said cutting off aid would help get Israel to work better with its Arab neighbors so that Israel could be “on its own two feet.”Ken Farnaso, press secretary for Mrs. Haley wrote on X: “Nikki Haley with always defend America’s ironclad friendship with Israel.”
Mr. Ramaswamy has not shied away from provocative foreign policy positions. He has said it would be acceptable for a peace deal to include Russia keeping parts of Ukraine. He also said he would support blocking Ukraine from joining NATO.Mr. Ramaswamy said he would visit Moscow and pull Russia out of its military alliance with China.but no doubt ruffles the feathers of some national security hawks.
James Stavridis, a retired NATO supreme allied commander for Europe, criticized Mr. Ramaswamy’s Ukraine war stance on X: “This kind of foolish appeasement was attempted in the 20th century and you can drop a plumb line to the rise of fascism and the Second World War. Never a good idea to give in to liars and bullies like Putin.”
