Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley blasted fellow 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy over his recent comments on cutting off U.S. funding to Israel, a stance that is at odds with most lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
During an appearance on Russell Brand's Rumble channel, Ramaswamy claimed he would end funding to Israel in 2028, when a $38 billion U.S. package ends."Come 2028, that additional aid won’t be necessary in order to still have the kind of stability that we’d actually have in the Middle East by having Israel more integrated in with its partners," he said.
Washington has long championed America's support of Israel, though tensions have been strained between Democrats and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent months over the country's overhaul of its judicial system. Republicans remain vocal allies, however, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pressuring President Joe Biden to invite Netanyahu to the White House.
James Stavridis, former supreme allied commander of NATO, recently slammed Ramaswamy's comments as appeasing Russian President Vladimir Putin."This kind of foolish appeasement was attempted in the 20th century, and you can drop a plumb line to the rise of fascism and the Second World War. Never a good idea to give in to liars and bullies like Putin," he said.
