Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Ambassador to Israel David Friedman tells Hadashot news that he does not believe that the violence in Gaza could have been avoided had Washington chose a different date to open its embassy in Jerusalem.
“I dont’ know that there would’ve been any other date to prevent what we saw,” Friedman says.
Palestinians were critical of the embassy move in general, but took particular offense in the US decision to inaugurate the building on Nakba Day.
