Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley offered her first praise for President Trump in several months in a Monday op-ed in Israel Hayom, an Israeli right-wing newspaper. She congratulated his decision to strike three Iranian nuclear sites but warned of further retaliation from Iran.

“Those in America that worry about why these strikes took place should understand that those strikes were a move to keep Americans safer. That was a move to take out one of the threats that Iran has used against Americans for years,” Haley wrote in the outlet owned by Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson.

Israel Hayom is distributed in Hebrew and is also available online in English.

The op-ed is a rare public........
