The center-left Israel Policy Forum has come to the defense of its more dovish counterpart J Street, which Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli branded yesterday as “hostile.”

“Diaspora Affairs Minister Chikli’s comments about J Street are at odds with the goal of strengthening ties between Israel and US Jews. We hope that Chikli spends more time listening to US Jewish concerns rather than dismissing those who disagree with him as hostile,” the Israel Policy Forum tweets.
