(WASHINGTON) Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley writes “Finish them” on an Israeli shell during a trip to northern Israel near the Lebanon border, in a photo released Tuesday by an Israeli MP on X.
Former UN Ambassador Danny Danone, MP, was accompanied by former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley during the trip near the northern border with Lebanon.
“‘Finish them,’ wrote my friend the ex-ambassador,” Danny Dannon said in the caption of a photo showing the former Republican candidate kneeling in front of a shell and writing about the missile. “America loves Israel” is also written on the shell.
To whom the word “they” refers Mr. Haley did not mention, but Mr. Danon indirectly suggested Lebanese Hezbollah.

Nikki Haley wrote “finish them” on an Israeli shell.
“Israel must take the initiative and change the situation. The people of Tire and Sidon [villes libanaises] They will evacuate their homes and those living in the north [d’Israël] He will return home,” said Mr. Danon wrote, referring to Israelis living near the border and displaced by the almost daily exchange of gunfire with Lebanese Hezbollah.
The photo was released as the Israeli army bombed a refugee camp in Rafah on Sunday, killing 45 people and sparking a wave of global outrage.
Especially in the United States, there is growing criticism of the policies of President Joe Biden, who has offered almost unconditional support to Israel, while occasionally criticizing the way the Israeli military conducts its operations in Gaza.
The White House said that southern Gaza had yet to see a “major ground operation” against Rafah, so there would be “no change in US policy” supporting Israel.
The Israeli army vowed to wipe out Hamas and killed at least 36,096 people, mostly civilians, according to data from the Hamas administration’s health ministry, in response to an October offensive by Palestinian Islamic Movement commandos infiltrating the Gaza Strip that led to the deaths of more than 1,189 people, mostly civilians, according to a new count carried out by AFP on Tuesday. Based on the latest official statistics.
Nikki Haley, 52, dropped out of the race for the White House in March after a clear loss to Donald Trump during the Republican primaries. Despite his sometimes harsh criticism of the billionaire, he announced last week that he would vote for the former president in November.
