US Secretary of State John Kerry’s Wednesday speech on the Israel-Palestinian peace process was “almost as unbalanced as the anti-Israel resolution passed at the UN last week,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Speaking in Jerusalem less than two hours after Kerry concluded his remarks, Netanyahu stated, “I must express my deep disappointment with the speech…What [Kerry] did was spend most of his speech blaming Israel for the lack of peace by passionately condemning a policy of enabling Jews to live in their historic homeland and in their eternal capital, Jerusalem.”
“The Jewish people have sought their place under the sun for 3,000 years and they’re not about to be swayed by mistaken policies that have caused great, great damage,” Netanyahu declared. “Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders. Israel’s hand has been extended in peace from…its very first day. We pray for peace and we’ve worked for it every day since then.”
