Israel: Shapiro’s comments unacceptable
Responding to US Ambassador Dan Shapiro, who said Israel’s West Bank policies represent a double standard, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the comments “unacceptable and incorrect.”
“The words of the ambassador, on a day in which a murdered mother of six is buried and on a day in which a pregnant woman is stabbed — are unacceptable and incorrect,” the statement reads. “Israel enforces the law for Israelis and Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority is the one responsible for the diplomatic freeze, and continues to incite and refuse talks.”
