<p class="article">Israeli newspaper Haaretz said in its online edition on Wednesday that Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is also seeking to ban U.S. contributions to the UN Human Rights Council and an anti-racism conference seen as a platform for anti-Israel rhetoric.</p>
<p>Ros-Lehtinen is known of her anti-UN positions. She wrote in her letter to her colleagues, that a Palestinian self-declared state &#8220;would short-circuit the negotiating process, and would severely undermine opportunities for peace between Israel and the Palestinians&#8221;.</p>
