Influencer Mia Khalifa has slammed former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, comparing her to a "yeast infection" after the politician was spotted signing Israeli bombs.

Haley has come under fire after photos showed her writing "Finish Them!" on the artillery shells amid the country's unrelenting military onslaught in Gaza.

On Monday, the former South Carolina governor, who also was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during former President Donald Trump's term, traveled to Israel where she met with survivors of the Hamas attack on October 7. The military arm of the Palestinian political group, Hamas, launched a surprise attack on Israel in October which killed around 1,200 people. About 220 further people were kidnapped by Hamas and held in Gaza.

Israel responded with an immediate attack on Gaza where its military campaign has killed more than 36,000 people there and displaced millions, according to latest figures from The Associated Press.

Haley was taken to Israel's northern border with Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli Knesset [parliament]. He posted photos on X, formerly Twitter, which showed Haley signing the bombs with messages such as, "Finish Them!" and "America [loves] Israel."

"This is what my friend, the former ambassador, Nikki Haley wrote today about a shell during a visit to an artillery post on the northern border," Danon wrote in Hebrew, according to Google Translate.

Khalifa— who rose to fame as a former adult film star— has been very vocal about her support of Palestinians. After Haley's visit to Israel, Khalifa took to X and wrote, "Nikki Haley is a human yeast infection."

Khalifa is not the only celebrity to criticize Haley, as Hollywood actor John Cusack also took aim at the former governor. "Burning children alive - Finish them - she hissed," he wrote on X.

Cusack also replied to another X user that "besides it's shocking inhumanity [it] was revolting in some weird gaslighting uncanny way." He added that it was "[multi] dimensions of disgusting."

Then Cusack wrote in reaction to a photo of Haley: "She needs a nice list of her true qualities. She who writes 'finish them' with a big [heart emoji] like a psychotic teenage serial killer."

Cusack also described Haley as a "ghoul—groveling, spineless, heartless, vicious, brutal, malicious, barbarous, brutal, callous, cruel, despotic, inhuman, sadistic, savage piece of s***."

One social-media user showed the shells Haley signed contained white phosphorus, which Israel has used in its assault on Gaza. It is a chemical substance that is dispersed in artillery shells, bombs, or rockets, and ignites when exposed to oxygen, creating an intense 815-degree Celsius heat.

The United Nations' World Health Organization (World Health Organization) says that white phosphorus is "harmful to humans by all routes of exposure." It could be violation of international human rights law "if it is used, on purpose, as an incendiary weapon directly against humans in a civilian settings."

Israel has a long history of using white phosphorous against Palestinians, which can be used as a smoke screen or a weapon.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has slammed Israel's use of white phosphorous saying, "densely populated areas of Gaza violates the requirement under international humanitarian law to take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian injury and loss of life."

"Any time that white phosphorus is used in crowded civilian areas, it poses a high risk of excruciating burns and lifelong suffering," said Lama Fakih, Middle East and North Africa director at HRW. "White phosphorous is unlawfully indiscriminate when airburst in populated urban areas, where it can burn down houses and cause egregious harm to civilians."
