.@LindaT_G at Senate confirmation Hearing: "I look forward to standing with Israel, standing against the unfair targeting of Israel, the relentless resolutions proposed against Israel unfairly, and I look forward to working closely with Israel to ... widen the circle of peace."
.@LindaT_G: "I look forward to working with Israel to develop a strategy with them for engaging with countries that would appreciate having Israel's expertise to support their development efforts."
.@LindaT_G: "I'm hopeful that those countries that have recognized Israel under the Abraham Accord will also see some opportunities to be more cooperative at the UN and more supportive of Israel's presence there."

.@LindaT_G: "President Biden has indicated that we will run to rejoin @UNHumanRights. When we're at the table there are fewer resolutions against Israel. If we're on the outside, we have no voice... whether its @UNESCO, whether its funding to @UNRWA."
