Trump’s Ambassador Pick Claims Israel’s ‘Biblical Right’ to West Bank, Sparking Outrage
During her Senate confirmation hearing, Elise Stefanik affirmed her commitment to advancing Trump’s “America First” agenda and unwavering support for Israel, including endorsing the view that Israel possesses a biblical right to the entire West Bank. She pledged to audit UN funding, counter China’s influence, and bolster support for Israel, marking a significant departure from the Biden administration’s approach. Stefanik’s stance aligns with other Trump appointees who have voiced similar views on Israeli settlements and the Palestinian territories. This includes advocating for an assessment of UN agencies and opposing funding for UNRWA.
