‘Kerry, Netanyahu speak almost every day’

Israel’s Channel 10 news reports that Netanyahu, as the prime minister said last night at his press conference, indeed speaks with US Secretary of State John Kerry virtually every day.

It says the US is drafting a resolution aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas conflict via the UN Security Council. Remarkably, however, it reports that the US has not yet shared the text of this resolution with Israel.

The same report quotes an unnamed senior Israeli official saying the flap over the US blocking the sale of Hellfire missiles to Israel “is behind us.” The US is describing the incident as a case of “simple bureaucracy,” that is now resolved.
