Nikki Haley Warned UN Of Hamas Threat

In 2018, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley warned the United Nations Security Council about the terror threat terrorist group Hamas posed to Israel.

At the time, she also sought to label the organization a terrorist group in both the chamber and the General Assembly, but she was unsuccessful.

According to Fox News, Haley, who was the United States ambassador to the UN in 2018, told the UN that Hamas “has been inciting violence for years,” long before the U.S. moved its embassy to Jerusalem.

She sounded the alarm about media reports of plans Hamas made to invade Israel if rioters could break through.

“They have reported that Hamas maps and social media show the fastest routes to reach Israeli communities in case demonstrators make it through the security fence. They have reported on Hamas messages over loudspeakers that urge demonstrators to burst through the fence, falsely claiming Israeli soldiers were fleeing, when in fact, they were not,” she told the Council.

She noted incidents where Molotov cocktails were put on kites and flown into Israel, and how key crossing points had been attacked. She also rebuffed calls for additional restraint by Israel by some on the Council — calls that have been echoed in recent days since the terror attack by Hamas.

“I ask my colleagues here in the Security Council, who among us would accept this type of activity on your border? No one would. No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has. In fact, the records of several countries here today suggest they would be much less restrained.”

Despite her warning and the fact that Hamas massacred over 1,300 Israelis a week ago, the United Nations Security Council has not labeled or sanctioned the group.

In another interview with Fox News, Haley said Israel shouldn’t show any restraint when dealing with Hamas because the terrorist group didn’t show any restraint when it slaughtered innocent Israelis.

Mark my words: When Israel moves into Gaza, people will call for Israel to exercise “restraint.”

Hamas showed NO restraint when it slaughtered innocent Israelis.

During an interview on CNN this week, Haley doubled down on the terror group, calling them inhumane barbarians.
