Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNikki Haley responds to top Palestinian negotiator Saab Erekat’s remark she should “shut up.”
“I will not shut up. Rather, I will respectfully speak some hard truths,” she says.
Haley says the Palestinians must “put aside” their anger over the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
She says the US is ready to broker peace talks immediately, noting the presence of negotiators Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt behind her.
