Visit Israel
The former US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, arrived in Israel two days ago, and Danon received her at Ben Gurion Airport.
According to Israeli Channel 7, Haley’s visit includes a tour around Gaza and the northern border, and meetings with government and security officials, detainees released by Hamas, and soldiers who participated in the war on the Strip.
Haley (52 years old) withdrew from the race to reach the White House last March, after suffering heavy defeats in the Republican Party primaries against Trump, who announced last week after a long silence that she would vote for him.
Although Trump has excluded her from running with him as vice president, she is a potential presidential candidate in 2028.
This coincides with the White House publishing, on Tuesday, a statement saying that US President Joe Biden He does not intend to change his policy towards Israel after casualties occurred in an Israeli strike on a camp for displaced people in Rafah last Sunday, but he “does not turn a blind eye” to the suffering of Palestinian civilians.
On Tuesday, the White House justified the Israeli attack on Rafah, which has been ongoing for weeks, considering that it “does not require changing Washington’s policies” toward Tel Aviv, and added that what is happening in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, “has not yet reached the level of a major operation,” explaining. This is what could lead to a change in US policy towards Israel.
