US envoy to UN nominee: Israel's right to West Bank biblical

United States President Donald Trump's nominee for the Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) Elise Stefanik (pictured) responded on Tuesday affirmatively to the question if she believed Israel had a biblical right to the entire West Bank.

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Stefanik did not clearly disclose if she supported a two-state solution for Palestine. She insisted that "I support human rights for all" while explaining that both she and Trump backed halting the funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and switching to another aid channel.

Asked about billionaire entrepreneur and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Administrator Elon Musk's alleged Sieg Heil salute while he spoke at Trump's inauguration, Stefanik claimed that he "did not do those salutes. I was not at the rally ... that is simply not the case."
