“The UN has shown itself to be hopelessly biased,” Haley told the body. “This biased obsession is not the path to peace.”

Haley also made it clear that proposed one-sided peace agreements were not acceptable.

“It’s time we faced a hard truth: both sides would benefit greatly from a peace agreement,” Haley said. “But, the Palestinians would benefit more and the Israelis would risk more.”

Haley’s fiery speech included a parting shot at the anti-Semitic passions that are widely believed to be the driving factor being many United Nations’ resolutions.

“Israel is a thriving, strong, prosperous country. It has always wanted peace with its neighbors,” Haley said. “No UN resolutions, anti-Semitic boycotts, or terrorists change that.

Haley will leave her post at the end of the season. President Trump has nominated State department spokeswoman Heather Nauert to replace her.
