Former US presidential candidate Nikki Haley has been photographed writing ‘Finish Them’ on an Israeli grenade as she toured the northern border with Lebanon.
Kill them!

The photo was posted on X on Tuesday by Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli parliament and former ambassador to the United Nations, who accompanied Haley during her visit.
“’Finish them.’ This is what my friend, former Ambassador Nikki Haley, wrote,” Danon said in his post, which showed a kneeling Haley writing on a seashell with a purple marker pen.
Haley was an aggressive UN envoy under Donald Trump, and her tenure overlaps with Danon’s.
The Gaza war was sparked by Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,189 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP count based on the latest Israeli official figures.
Militants also took 252 hostages, 121 of whom remain in Gaza, including 37 who the army says are dead.
At least 36,096 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive in Gaza, according to the Israeli Health Ministry.
Haley, 52, abandoned her bid for the White House in March after heavy defeats in the Republican primaries against Trump, and said last week she would vote for him in the election.
Trump has ruled her out of the race to become his vice president, but she is a potential presidential candidate in 2028.
The White House said Tuesday that President Joe Biden has no plans to change his Israel policy after a deadly weekend attack on Rafah, but that he is not “turning a blind eye” to the plight of Palestinian civilians.
