Trump's UN Envoy Endorses Israeli Claims to West Bank
ai generated text
Elise Stefanik, a Republican, expressed support for the views of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, which aligns her with the Israeli far right. She stated her commitment to continuing the US's defense of Israel and advancing Trump's "America First" agenda. Stefanik also pledged to audit US funding for the UN if confirmed as ambassador, a move that could be seen as a significant shift in US foreign policy.
After Gaza and Lebanon, today, with God's help, we have begun to change the security concept in Judea and Samaria and in the campaign to eradicate terrorism in the region.
These sanctions were a severe move of foreign interference in Israel's internal affairs, harming the principles of democracy and the mutual relationship between two friendly nations.
I need to be careful about saying this, because people will really get upset. There's really no such thing as a Palestinian.
There is no such thing as a West Bank. It's Judea and Samaria.
I think President Trump is uniquely positioned at this very challenging moment to bring peace to the region, to eradicate terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah, to protect Israel's national security. If you look at the failures, we've given billions of dollars, and this is just the bilateral aid to the Palestinians, and it has been abused by Hamas.
If confirmed, I stand ready to implement President Trump's mandate from the American people to deliver America First, peace-through-strength national security leadership on the world stage.
Our tax dollars should not be complicit in propping up entities that are counter to American interests, antisemitic, or engaging in fraud, corruption or terrorism.
I believe the Palestinian people deserve so much better than the failures that they've had from terrorist leaders.
My oversight work led to the most-viewed testimony in the history of Congress.
