An Israeli minister says U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s planned policy speech Wednesday on Israeli-Palestinian peace is a “pathetic move” and “anti-democratic.”
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan told Israel Army Radio that if Kerry lays out principles for a peace deal, as he is expected to do in his speech, it will limit President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to set his own policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Erdan said Obama administration officials are “pro-Palestinian” and “don’t understand what’s happening in the Middle East.”
