Story highlights Haley criticized the body for admitting "many of the world's worst human rights offenders"

She accused the Council of a "relentless, pathological campaign" against Israel

(CNN) US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley traveled to Israel on Wednesday in a show of support and solidarity, just one day after she slammed the UN Human Rights Council for anti-Israel bias and "hypocrisy."

During the visit, Haley met with top officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom she discussed US efforts to reform the Council, and "recognized that much work remains until Israel is treated fairly in all UN fora," according to a readout of the meeting provided by her office.

"I've never taken kindly to bullies," Haley told reporters in Jerusalem, "the UN has bullied Israel for a very long time, and we're not going to let that happen anymore."
