US envoy at BDS confab: Israel must refrain from unilateral steps
US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro tells a conference on boycotts of Israel that the Jewish state should not take any steps that make a two-solution to the conflict with the Palestinians harder to achieve.
“BDS has a clear anti-Israel agenda, but when there is no peace process it makes it difficult for the US,” says Shapiro according to Ynet, whose sister print publication Yedioth Ahronoth is hosting the conference.
“It is up to Israel to refrain from unilateral steps on the ground, such as settlement constriction, that make a two-state solution more remote,” Shapiro says.
