US envoy to Israel says Trump response to Charlottesville was ‘not fine’

US ambassador to Israel David Friedman says his president’s response to the racially motivated violence in Charlottesville earlier this month was “not fine.”

When asked by a Channel 10 reporter whether he agreed with Trump’s handling of the aftermath of the deadly rally was “fine,” Friedman responds by saying: “I think it wasn’t fine,” and declines to comment on the issue further.

Friedman also says that Trump is “being treated unfairly by the media,” and that he believes the president “will do a great job for America.”
