Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), nominated by President Donald Trump to be Ambassador to the United Nations, pledged yesterday that Hamas would be “eradicated.” Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), she reaffirmed the Trump administration’s firm commitment to Israel.
“It has never been more important to show the world’s unequivocal support for Israel,” she declared. “We will not rest until every hostage is brought home and Hamas is eradicated.”
Stefanik further emphasized the gravity of the situation, saying, “This past week, we continue to see with crystal clarity that our fight to support Israel and eradicate Hamas is a fight between good and evil, light and darkness, life and death.” She added, “The world must never forget that Hamas terrorists savagely murdered over 1,200 innocent civilians—including women, children, the elderly and babies—and took hundreds hostage, committing unspeakable atrocities against humanity.”
She also criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), calling it a “pro-Hamas terrorist group that committed atrocities on Oct. 7.” Stefanik pointed out that Trump had already cut U.S. funding to the agency and indicated that stronger actions would be taken. “Make no mistake. Hear it now,” she said. “We will not only defund UNRWA, we will dismantle it.”
Stefanik gained attention for her direct questioning of university presidents at a House Education Committee hearing on the rise of antisemitism on college campuses, where she exposed their failure to enforce rules against calls for Jewish genocide. In her CPAC remarks, she pledged to bring the same fight to the United Nations. “I led the charge to expose the rot of antisemitism on college campuses, and I will lead the charge on behalf of President Trump to root out the rot of the true den of antisemitism, and that is the UN,” she declared.
During her recent Senate confirmation hearing, Stefanik condemned the “antisemitic rot within the United Nations.” She stated, “There are more resolutions targeting Israel than any other country, any other crisis, combined,” and called out UN Women for “failing to condemn Hamas’ terrorist attack and terrorist regime against innocent civilian women, using rape and targeting women specifically, taking them hostage.”
