            AMBASSADOR HALEY SPEAKS AT U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. 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.
