Israel should not count on the Biden administration to stop the Iran nuclear program, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, a staunch ally of the Jewish state, tweeted on Saturday.
"The Iranian nuclear threat is existential for Israel. If Israel makes the grave decision that its security depends on removing that threat, it should not wait for an American green light that might never come," she added.
Halley also lambasted the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC on Saturday for hosting politicians who support the Iran nuclear deal.
"There's one thing I don't get about AIPAC, and I'm not saying anything to you that I haven't said to their leadership," she began in her speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership conference in Las Vegas.
"Why do they invite politicians to their conference who strongly support the Iran nuclear deal?" she continued as the conservative crowd applauded. "Stop rewarding bad behavior. It only gets you more bad behavior."
She added at the conference: "Bipartisanship is important. But if you make bipartisanship your whole reason for existence, then you lose sight of the policies you're fighting for in the first place.
"If a politician supports the disastrous Iran deal, opposes moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, and is embraced by antisemites who support the BDS movement, then a pro-Israel group should have absolutely nothing to do with him or her," she added.

Haley also slammed the Biden administration for renewing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians "and promoting a two-state solution."
"Look, we can all have a nice academic debate about the merits of an independent Palestinian state. In theory, it could be a good thing. Lord knows the Palestinian people have suffered too much," she said.
"But let's be real. There is no universe today under which the corrupt
Palestinian Authority can run a state. There isn't," she asserted,
adding that Hamas in Gaza is even worse.
