Washington: <\/b><\/p>\n
Former US presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has been photographed writing “Finish Them” on an Israeli shell as she toured sites near the northern border with Lebanon.<\/p>\n
The photograph was posted on X on Tuesday by Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli parliament and former ambassador to the United Nations, who was accompanying Haley on her visit.<\/p>\n
“‘Finish Them’. This is what my friend the former ambassador Nikki Haley wrote,” Danon said in his post that showed a kneeling Haley writing on a shell with a purple marker pen.<\/p>\n
Haley was a hawkish UN envoy under Donald Trump, and her term overlapped with Danon.<\/p>\n
The Gaza war was sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack on southern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,189 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on the latest Israeli official figures.<\/p>\n
Militants also took 252 hostages, 121 of whom remain in Gaza, including 37 the army says are dead.<\/p>\n
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed at least 36,096 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to the territory’s health ministry.<\/p>\n
Haley, 52, abandoned her White House bid in March after heavy defeats in Republican primary contests to Trump, and last week said that she would vote for him in the election.<\/p>\n
Trump has ruled her out of contention to be his vice president, but she is a potential presidential runner in 2028.<\/p>\n
The White House said Tuesday that President Joe Biden has no plans to change his Israel policy following a deadly weekend strike on Rafah but that he is not turning a “blind eye” to the plight of Palestinian civilians.<\/p>\n
