DeSantis and Haley Clash Over Gaza Remarks

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejects criticism from Republican presidential rival Nikki Haley over his remarks about Palestinians, stating that he will speak the truth regardless of political correctness. The comments come amid Republican criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. DeSantis had stated that the U.S. should not accept refugees from Gaza and referred to Palestinians in Gaza as "antisemitic." Haley, on the other hand, argued that many Palestinians want to be free from terrorist rule and that civilians should be separated from terrorists. The dispute between the two candidates also reflects their competition for conservative donors and rising popularity within the GOP.
