Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley pushed for the United States to save the hostages still detained by Hamas, arguing doing so is “priority number one.”

Haley was asked about comments made by national security adviser Jake Sullivan, who said Wednesday that a deal between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group to release the hostages is “close” and that it comes down to Hamas committing to this deal. In assessing the situation, Haley noted how the U.N. is attempting to pressure Israel into making a deal without mentioning the hostages under Hamas.
