Haley Criticizes Ramaswamy's Proposal to Reduce Israel Aid

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley criticized fellow GOP hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy for expressing support for reducing aid to Israel by 2028. Haley emphasized the importance of the "special bond" between the US and Israel, stating that support for Israel is morally right and strategically smart. Ramaswamy, on the other hand, wants to expand the Abraham Accords to integrate Israel into the rest of the Middle East, believing that additional aid won't be necessary if Israel is more incorporated with its regional partners. Haley argued that Ramaswamy's proposal is part of a pattern of policies that make the US less safe. The criticism comes ahead of the first GOP presidential debate.
