- They're calling her a superstar.

Nikki Haley had to be one ofthe most popular US officials

ever here in Israel.

She stood up for the Jewishstate at the United Nations

in a way that Israel hadn'tseen in a long time if ever.

On the sidelines of the UNGeneral Assembly last month,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

told Haley she had madethe UN smell better.

- The hall still permeates with the stench

of anti-Israel andanti-Semitic resolutions,

which are the same.

And I want to thank youfor clearing the air.

- [Chris] Following theUS veto of a UN vote

on the status of Jerusalemduring Hanukah last year,

Netanyahu likened Haley to the Maccabees

who overthrew the Greek rulers in Israel

after they defiled the temple.

- Thank you, Ambassador Haley.

On Hanukah, you spoke like a Maccabee.

You lit a candle of truth.

You dispelled the darkness.

One defeated the many,truth defeated lies.

- [Chris] Following theannouncement, Netanyahu tweeted,

"I would like to thankAmbassador Nikki Haley,

"who led the uncompromising struggle

"against hypocrisy at the UN

"and on behalf of the truthand justice of our country.

"Best of luck."

Even the Mossad tweeted itsgoodbye with Haley's picture.

"We are sad to hear NikkiHaley is resigning her post

"as US ambassador to the UN.

"Our special maritimeagents will never forget

"that special moment you had together.

"Thank you, Nikki."

Iran, unsurprisingly, saidit was glad to see her go,

with the head of Iran's pressoffice at the UN tweeting,

"New sheriff in town is no longer.

"We do not know who shewas or what she was about,

"but she was a serious problem at the UN

"with her uninformed statements

"and her causing the isolation of the US.

"You need to know thereis no new sheriff town."

But the head of the IsraeliJewish Congress tweeted,

"Winston Churchill one said,'You have enemies, good.

"'That means you havestood up for something

"'sometime in your life.'

"Thank you, Nikki Haley foralways fiercely standing up

"for freedom, democracy, and human rights.

"You were a rare beacon of light,

"hope, and justice at the UN."

Finally, the popularcartoonist Yaakov Kirschen

asked the question many are pondering.

"Who can fill Nikki Haley's shoes?"
