Nikki Haley On CNBC: “There is not an Israeli or Jewish person in Gaza.” If True, Then How Can Israel Determine What Products (Electricity, Food, Fuel, Medicine, Water) And Services Enter Gaza?

Nikki Haley, Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations (2017-2018), Governor of the State of South Carolina (2011-2017), who is a candidate for the 2024 presidential nomination of the Republican Party, this morning during an interview on CNBC shared the following:

There is not an Israeli or Jewish person in Gaza.”

We’re not telling people in other countries what to do or how to live.”

Question: If there is not an Israeli or Jewish person in Gaza, then how can the government of the State of Israel determine what products and services enter Gaza through the Rafah Border Crossing which directly connects the territory of Gaza with the territory of the Arab Republic of Egypt?

On 25 October 2023, Representative Mike Johnson (R- 4th District, Louisiana) was elected Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.  Speaker Johnson represents the northwest and western regions of State of Louisiana. 

Mrs. Haley shared her belief that how Mr. Johnson represented his district would be different than how he manages as Speaker:

Different when representing a small district.”

United States Census Bureau: “Congressional districts are the 435 areas from which members are elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After the apportionment of congressional seats among the states, which is based on decennial census population counts, each state with multiple seats is responsible for establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Each congressional district is to be as equal in population to all other congressional districts in a state as practicable. The boundaries and numbers shown for the congressional districts are those specified in the state laws or court orders establishing the districts within each state.”

Mrs. Haley should know better- particularly seeking to become the 47th President of the United States.
