Israeli criticism of Kerry ‘offensive and absurd’ — official
Israeli attacks against US Secretary of State John Kerry accusing him being of a supporter of Hamas are “offensive and absurd,” a senior US diplomat says Wednesday.
In a sharp exchange with reporters, deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf hit out against a torrent of abuse from “respected voices in Israel talking about the secretary of state, claiming that he supports Hamas, which is offensive and absurd.”
The United States had been given Israel “a level of support which has been quite frankly unprecedented in our history, even when we stood alone,” she adds.
