Nikki Haley believes technology can escalate Israel, Palestine peace plan

Outgoing U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Tuesday that a U.S. plan to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians brings "brings new elements to the discussion, taking advantage of the new world of technology that we live in."

"It is much longer. It contains much more thoughtful detail," Haley told the U.N. Security Council of the plan, which she said she has read. "It recognizes that realities on the ground in the Middle East have changed in powerful and important ways."

She gave no details of what was in the long-awaited plan, which has been prepared by U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
