Palestinian official: Nikki Haley is not world's 'schoolmarm' | Al Jazeera English
In a striking address, Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent Palestinian figure, challenged UN Ambassador Nikki Haley's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during a UN event marking the Nakba, the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian exodus. Ashrawi condemned the US's complicity in what she describes as Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. Her remarks came against the backdrop of ongoing tensions and conflicts in the region.
During the event, Ashrawi criticized Haley for her perceived bias and coercive tactics at the United Nations, stating, “I don’t think people appointed her the school mom of the world.” This statement highlighted Ashrawi's view that Haley's actions echo an unjust oversight of the Palestinian plight. She argued that while protests in Iran are celebrated as heroic, similar actions by Palestinians under occupation are labeled as terrorism.
Haley, known for her hardline stance and support for Israel, notably walked out of a Security Council meeting before the Palestinian ambassador could speak, further igniting Ashrawi's criticism. The discussion emphasized the broader implications of US foreign policy under the Trump administration, particularly in terms of its influence on the Israeli-Palestinian dynamics.
This exchange reflects ongoing global conversations about human rights, international relations, and the complexities of the Middle East conflict.
