Trump Nominee For UN Ambassador Says Jews Have 'Biblical Right' To Occupied West Bank

Representative Elise Stefanik from New York began receiving large donations from Republican Jewish donors after casting herself as a champion in the fight against alleged antisemitism

Representative Elise Stefanik, recently nominated by President Donald Trump for the position of US ambassador to the UN, said that she supports the claims made by the far right in Israel that Jews have the “biblical right” to take land from Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman from New York, made the statement while being questioned during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on 21 January to discuss her confirmation as the new UN Ambassador.

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen asked Stefanik whether she supported Palestinians' right to self-determination.

Stefanik, who is known to be a staunch advocate of Israel and supports its decision to defund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), refused to answer the question directly, saying, “I think they deserve more than the failures that they have suffered under the leadership of terrorists.”

Van Hollen pressed her further by saying that she had previously stated to him in a private meeting that “Israel has a biblical right to the entire West Bank.”
