Shaked Slams 'Unacceptable' US Response to Terror
- 9 years ago
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Jewish Home) blasted on Saturday night the Obama administration's overly critical response to Israel's handling of the ongoing wave of Arab terror sweeping the country.
Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry gave an interview in which he blamed Israeli “settlements” for the latest terror wave.
State Department spokesperson John Kirby later explained to reporters that the Secretary of State was not assigning blame when he said a "massive increase in settlements" over the past year had been followed by the current outbreak of violence.
Despite speaking on US soil at the Israeli American Council's second annual conference, Shaked expressed no qualms at straying from diplomatic protocol in attacking the Obama administration's statements as "unacceptable."
