US State Department blasts Smotrich remarks on Palestinians as ‘dangerous’
The United States State Department denounces far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for denying the existence of the Palestinian nation, calling his remarks “dangerous.”
“We found those comments to not only be inaccurate but also deeply concerning and dangerous,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters, also calling Bezalel Smotrich’s remarks Sunday in Paris “offensive.”
