Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley spent Memorial Day weekend in Israel, where she toured communities devastated by Hamas on October 7th and signed a bomb with a message to the terror group.

“Finish them!” wrote Haley on the bomb above a message of unity between the U.S. and Israel. Haley spoke to the press during her tour and accused Russia of China of aiding Iran and Hamas in the deadly attack on southern Israel that left over 1,000 people dead and hundreds kidnapped. Haley claimed the attack “was orchestrated by Iran. It was helped with Russian intelligence. And it was fueled by money from China. Don’t deny that.”

While Haley did not offer any specific evidence for the claim, Russia did host Hamas’s leaders following the attack and has been a fierce critic of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, which has left tens of thousands dead — civilians and Hamas fighters.

Haley also said during her presser that “if we are arrogant enough” such an attack “could absolutely happen in America too.” Haley later shared on X a post about meeting a survivor of the Nova music festival, where hundreds of partygoers were killed and many were raped and mutilated.

“Like my daughter, Tali Biner is a nurse in her 20s who loves music and her friends. But, her life changed forever at the Nova Music Festival. For hours she hid, praying not to be next, listening to fellow concertgoers beg for mercy as they were raped, genitally mutilated, and shot to death by Hamas. When she escaped, she tried to treat victims who were butchered and left to slowly die. Now, she bravely tells her story to bear witness for the hundreds who can’t — raped, tortured, kidnapped, and murdered simply for being Israeli,” Haley wrote on X.

Haley signed the bomb the day after an Israeli strike on Rafah killed at least 45 people after the makeshift tents that displaced Gazans were living in quickly went up in flames. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the death toll a “tragic accident” on Monday as the death toll climbed higher amid international outrage.


NBC News reported Tuesday that “A U.S. official said that Israel told the U.S. that they used a precision munition to hit their target but that shrapnel or something else from the explosion ignited a fuel tank nearby, which started a fire, engulfing a tent and leading to many casualties.”
