US official says Israeli reports misrepresent Kerry’s efforts

A senior US official says the harsh criticism of Secretary of State John Kerry’s ceasefire proposal in the Israeli press is imprecise and, in some cases, hurtful, according to Walla News.

The official stresses that the reports misrepresent Kerry’s efforts, and that the accusations of betrayal are particularly distressing.

He adds that the proposal presented to Israel was based on the Egyptian initiative, which Israel had said it was willing to accept.
