The visual 'thank you note' is a collection of clips showing Haley defending Israel at the United Nations, visiting Israel, and of her and Danon together at both locations.

Haley responded to the tweet early Thursday morning: "This is so very nice @dannydanon. I’ve enjoyed fighting the good fight with you. #StandingUpForOurFriends"

The video opens with Haley addressing the UN security Council: "I am here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel, I am here to emphasize the United States is determined to stand up to the UN's anti-Israel bias."

The montage continues with clips and still images over-layed with text lauding her dedication to Israel: "Ambassador Haley started a new era at the UN in the battle for truth as a true warrior. Together we joined forces in the fight against terror and lies."

The video concludes with a clip of Haley sitting across from President Reuven Rivlin at the President's residence in Jerusalem where she said: "I have never taken kindly to bullies and the UN has bullied Israel for a very long time and we're not going to let that happen anymore. It is a new day for Israel."
