The outgoing US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley on Tuesday called on Israelis and Palestinians to back a US peace plan to be unveiled in early 2019.

Without revealing details of the plan, drawn up by President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Haley said it was far longer than past proposals and included elements that would have previously been "unthinkable."
Haley said that if countries focus solely on parts of the plan that they do not like, "we would return back to the failed status quo of the last fifty years with no prospects for change."
But she said, "I assure you there is a lot for both sides to like."
