Settler leader says Kerry ‘the worst secretary of state in history’
A senior leader of a Jewish settlement council is calling US Secretary of State John Kerry “a stain on American foreign policy” and “ignorant of the issues.”
Oded Revivi, mayor of the West Bank town of Efrat and chief foreign envoy of the Yesha Council, made the remarks ahead of Kerry’s final policy speech on Mideast peace Wednesday.
Revivi said Kerry is “the worst secretary of state in history” who “chose to stab his closest ally in the back” and knows little about the realities of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Israel is angry the US allowed a resolution to pass in the United Nations Security Council calling settlements a “flagrant violation” of international law. Israel accuses the US of orchestrating the resolution.
