Elise Stefanik, during her confirmation hearing for the role of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, expressed unwavering support for Israel and vowed to pursue Donald Trump's America First agenda. Explicitly endorsing the belief that Israel has biblical dominion over the occupied West Bank, she diverged from the previous Biden administration's stance by refusing to support Palestinian self-determination directly. Instead, she attributed the Palestinian plight to ineffective leadership and declared her intent to audit U.S. funding to international agencies and counter China's influence at the UN.
