Mr. Speaker, yesterday, at an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council, Ambassador Nikki Haley spoke truthfully about the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks in Gaza over many years by tunnel and firebombs using human shields financed by Iran. Ambassador Haley explained, as our President said: ``The location of our Embassy has no bearing on the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders. . . . It does not undermine the prospects for peace in any way.'' ``But let's remember that the Hamas terrorist organization has been inciting violence for years, long before the United States decided to move our Embassy,'' Ambassador Haley said. ``This is what is endangering the people of Gaza. Make no mistake: Hamas is pleased with the results of yesterday.'' The real story I saw in The Jerusalem Post is ``Promises Made, Promises Kept,'' not the fake news of Hamas sympathizers. In addition, last night, at the Willard, I was grateful to attend the International Republican Institute dinner led by President Daniel Twining where Ambassador Nikki Haley was honored with Secretary James Mattis to receive the Freedom Award. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
