Nikki Haley, who is running for the Republican nomination in the US presidential race, said in an interview with ABC that the Arab residents of Gaza need to get out.
Haley: "The Palestinians had to go to the Rafah crossing and have Egypt take them. But I've always said that what they need is to move to pro-Hamas countries like Qatar, Iran and Turkey."
The interviewer pressed Haley and told her: "But the Palestinians in Gaza are fleeing for their lives and can't go to all these places."

Haley: That says it all. Why doesn't Egypt want them? Because they're not sure who's a terrorist and who's not. These are sad circumstances. But the reality of this evil is very clear. Instead of the world pressuring Israel, which was brought to its knees in the worst invasion since the Holocaust, why don't we talk to Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, or Iran? Why aren't they doing something to help the Palestinians?" asked Haley in an interview.

The Republican Party member is known for her sympathy and support for Israel, and this is also reflected in her words: "Why do you always return to Israel and America? That's always the story. Everyone comes to help Israel when it is hurt, but they hurt it when it strikes back. If this had happened to America, do you think we wouldn't have struck back?! Where are Gaza's friends? They need to be the ones doing something to save them. It shouldn't be about Israel."
