President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intent to appoint New York Representative Elise Stefanik, known for her pro-Israel stance, as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is a remarkably strong, resilient, and intelligent advocate of the America First agenda,” Trump stated to The New York Post.
Stefanik accepted the nomination, expressing her gratitude and eagerness to work in Trump’s administration. “I am truly honored to receive President Trump’s nomination and look forward to the Senate’s support,” she told The Post. “In our conversation, I shared with President Trump how humbling it is to accept this role, and I am committed to working with Senate colleagues to secure their endorsement.”
She further praised Trump’s decisive election victory, saying it has renewed optimism for the American people and promised hope for a brighter future domestically and internationally. “America remains a global leader, but we must insist that our allies be strong partners in the peace we pursue.”
As a prominent Republican leader and vocal advocate for Israel, Stefanik has been active in combating antisemitism, particularly on U.S. campuses. Her questioning last year led to the resignation of the presidents of Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania after they failed to unequivocally condemn calls for genocide against Jews.
At a recent Knesset Caucus for Jewish and Pro-Israel Students meeting, Stefanik criticized President Biden’s decision to delay a shipment of bombs to Israel, warning that without sufficient defense support to ensure Israel's security, the U.S. could face serious future threats.
