Haley is no different than the Cabinet and Congress; tangled in their puppet strings.
I can't believe this was even breached. There was no way any resolution escalating the tensions between Israel and Palestine was going to become an international policy. It is a darn shame, but, maybe Ambassador Haley isn't qualified for the position. Anger and fomenting hatred is not the characteristics of an ambassador.

The U.S. vetoed a UN resolution (click here) seeking to reaffirm Jerusalem's status as unresolved, after 14 UN Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution Monday, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize it as Israel’s capital.
This was the first time the United States exercised its veto power at the UN Security Council since Trump took office.
Following the vote, Haley said called the vote "an insult" and said that it won't be forgotten. She further said about the U.S. veto: “We do it with no joy, but we do it with no reluctance," and that "The United States will not be told by any country where we can put our embassy."...
As if insulting the entire United Nations over Jerusalem wasn't enough, she was screaming about the Iran Resolution as being a fraud because it didn't include a hundred different other issues.
Sorry, she just doesn't get it. Politico had a hissy fit on Obama over Hezbollah, too. Anyone know the concept of history?

In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, (click here) the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation....
When I first read, from more than one source, about Hezbollah's expansion I realized they didn't answer to Iran anymore. I had to read more than one source, because, it didn't make sense. Hezbollah has always depended on Iran for arms and direction for their militia. Hezbollah is Shi'ite and they are firmly anchored in the Crescent.
Iran no longer has influence with Hezbollah. I think it was during the Daesh attacks in the region. Syria. Hezbollah was cut off. Hezbollah was in Lebanon to protect the Alawites. Israel has very tight surveillance of the militias in the region, not just Hezbollah. Israel would bomb munition movements from Iran to Hezbollah, but, now with an international reach, Hezbollah is self-supporting.
Ambassador Haley needs to read newspapers. Not every aspect of the world comes out of Trump's mouth.
The world, she is a changing. The Lebanese army and Hezbollah. Huh? What? These organizations are pledged to hate each other. What happened? Peace? A common need to survive a hideous regime? I am impressed. Is it safe to call them brothers?

The Lebanese army (click here) launched an offensive on Saturday against an Islamic State enclave on the northeast border with Syria as the Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah announced an assault on the militants from the Syrian side of the frontier.
The Lebanese army operation got underway at 5 a.m., targeting Islamic State positions near the town of Ras Baalbek with rockets, artillery and helicopters, a Lebanese security source said. The area is the last part of the Lebanese-Syrian frontier under insurgent control.
The operation by Hezbollah and the Syrian army targeted the area across the border in the western Qalamoun region of Syria.
A Hezbollah statement said the group was meeting its pledge to “remove the terrorist threat at the borders of the nation” and was fighting “side by side” with the Syrian army.
I don't believe The West knows the extent the Middle East has come together to end the violence and protect their faith. Don't get me "W"rong, I don't appreciate the militias turn drug kingpins, but, once they have their territory staked out, Mexico will finally have it's sovereignty back. The drug cartels are no match to Hezbollah.

Beirut: Lebanon’s Hezbollah (click here) accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Sunday of pushing the region to war in Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, and said nowhere in Israel would be safe if such a conflict were to erupt.
Tensions have risen this year between Hezbollah and Israel, which last fought a major conflict in 2006. Israel has said it would use all its strength from the start in any new war with Hezbollah.
In a speech to followers, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the Israeli government did not have “a correct assessment of where this war will lead if they ignite it”, and did not know how it would end.
“They do not have a correct picture about what is awaiting them if they go to the idiocy of this war,” Nasrallah said....'
I think I agree with Nasrahhal. The Trump administration doesn't have a clue. There has been a paradigm change. Probably a major paradigm shift. Russia probably had a hand in it. I can't say what occurred with Hezbollah is wrong. They were fighting for their lives. I congratulate the leaders in the Middle East. They did it. They found the strength within their people to fight a war that would bring about the end of the most deadly regime in centuries. I don't think any other dictator can claim the death rate of Daesh.
If Daesh brought the Middle East together and Isreal still lives by it's political hubris, that is a darn shame. Evidently, the Middle East is in step with the lives of their people and Israel let a huge paradigm shift simply slip past their intelligence. Or, at least, realized it and knew it would not promote Israel's political agenda. I am sure Israel could write a very interesting history of what occurred with Daesh. But, it won't admit it.
Look. The USA has been looking the other way with Afghanistan's Poppy Culture. EVEN TODAY, under Trump the poppies are growing like weeds. Don't start the high and mighty stuff in the United Nations. The USA Republicans are pathetic.
HELLO! HALEY! The Middle East just fought a war. You know, guns, bombs and all that stuff. There are frequently paradigm shifts after such events. It wasn't a world war, OBVIOUSLY, but, it was a darn deadly war. They worked together and saved their people. That is not a small achievement. Honestly.
