US President-elect Donald Trump has offered New York Rep. Elise Stefanik the position of US ambassador to the United Nations in his new administration, CNN reports.
Stefanik, a high-ranking Republican in Congress, has been a leading pro-Israel lawmaker and led efforts to counter antisemitism on US campuses.
Her tough questioning last fall led to the departure of presidents of Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania who equivocated when she asked them if they would condemn calls for genocide against Jews.
And during a meeting of the Knesset Caucus for Jewish and Pro-Israel Students on Campuses Around the World this year she slammed US President Joe Biden’s decision to pause a shipment of thousands of bombs to Israel, warning that unless Israel is supplied with the weapons necessary to “achieve total victory,” America could face its own October 7.
Trump said Saturday that he “will not be inviting” back Nikki Haley, who served as UN ambassador under his first administration and later ran against him for the Republican nomination.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
