MK Danny Danon (Likud), Israel's former Ambassador to the United Nations, and current Chairman of World Likud, who worked closely with former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley at the United Nations, welcomed Haley's announcement that she is running for US President in 2024.
"Today my good friend Nikki Haley announced that she is running for President of the United States of America. Nikki is a true friend of the State of Israel and I have no doubt that she will always stand by our side. Likewise, Israel will always be the closest ally of the United States. Good luck Nikki!" Danon said.
Haley delivered the announcement in a video statement, making her the second Republican to join the 2024 presidential race, after former President Donald Trump launched his presidential bid last November.
“I’ve never lost an election, and I’m not going to start now," said in her campaign launch Tuesday.
In the video, Haley touted her tenure as governor and foreign policy bona fides as ambassador.
"China and Russia are on the march. They all think we can be bullied, kicked around. You should know this about me: I don't put up with bullies. And when you kick back, it hurts more if you're wearing heels."
