It will be worse this time,\u201d she posted on X,<\/a> the platform formerly known as Twitter. \u201cThe battle in Gaza will be hard & long, but it\u2019s necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the United States\u2019s support for Israel must not waver.<\/p>\n Statements from lawmakers and officials in the U.S. have overwhelmingly supported Israel in its fight to defeat Hamas after the group invaded the country in a surprise attack that has left thousands dead and many unaccounted for. Protests in support of both Palestine and Israel have begun across the country and around the world.<\/p>\n \u201cMuch of the civilized world stands w\/ Israel when she gets hit,\u201d Haley continued. \u201cWe must continue to stand with Israel when she hits back.\u201d<\/p>\n President Biden has pledged his support for Israel. The U.S. provides about $3 billion in aid each year to Israel, but an emergency aid package may be held up in Congress with the House unable to elect a new Speaker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
