Summary
Elise Stefanik, President Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to the UN, stated during her confirmation hearing that Israel has a “biblical right” to the occupied West Bank, aligning with far-right Israeli officials.
Stefanik sidestepped support for Palestinian self-determination, blaming their leadership for failures.
Her stance signals a shift from Biden-era opposition to Israeli settlements, with Trump lifting sanctions on Israeli settler groups and nominating pro-settlement figures like Mike Huckabee for key roles.
Stefanik also vowed to audit UN funding and block aid to Palestinian refugee agencies.
Both Israelis and Palestinians claim to have a “God given right” to that very same piece of sand.
I suspect that’s a large part of why this conflict has been ongoing for longer than most of the combatants have been alive.
Palestinians don’t claim to have a God given right to that land. They have a UNRWA refugee mandate to that land.
this is amazingly accurate
