WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration pushed back strongly Monday at a torrent of Israeli criticism over Secretary of State John Kerry's latest bid to secure a cease-fire with Hamas, accusing some in Israel of launching a "misinformation campaign" against the top American diplomat.
"It's simply not the way partners and allies treat each other," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Her comments were echoed by the White House, where officials said they were disappointed by Israeli reports that cast Kerry's efforts to negotiate a cease-fire as more favorable to Hamas.
"Israel has no better friend, no stronger defender than John Kerry," said Tony Blinken, President Barack Obama's deputy national security adviser. He said the criticism of Kerry was based on "people leaking things that are either misinformed or attempting to misinform."

Dear AP,
There is a huge difference between the US government and the US people. Please do not include us in the category of fuming at Israel for their opinion of, Lurc, er John Kerry. We wholeheartedly agree with their assessment of Kerry as a weasel for Hamas.
um, thanks
Jen Kool-aid Psaki.
Does Israel or BiBi have a Tweet site, or the like, where we can voice our support?
“And yet they were silent about Kerry getting wanded and metal detected in Egypt?”
Also silent about:
- Sisi refused 0b0z0’s invitation to attend the African-American summit in DC in August.
- Sisi is making arrangements to ONLY attend the UN GA BS in September WITHOUT STOPPING IN DC TO SEE 0h0m0tullah 0kaka.
Who’s the US?
Oh you mean those leftist, traitorous, anti-Christian, anti-Israeli racists who voted twice for a usurper promising all kinds of hope!
I’m all for Kerry being treated as the court jester that he is. God Bless Israel!
LOL
But it is OK when Iran says death to America or NK says it will nuke DC... that is just “internal politics”.
“Said Tony Blinken.”
Is he the Blinken from Winkin, Blinken, and Nod?
"In furtherance of the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, we agree to immediately launch good-faith, bilateral negotiations in order to conclude a peace treaty resolving all outstanding issues, including all core issues, without exception, as specified in previous agreements." —Speech at the Annapolis peace conference, November 27, 2007
Is this still U.S. Policy for peace?
Should have done a cavity search also. But of course Kerry's largest body cavity is distal to the neck.
We are starting a dog poop patrol for our town green. It will have three members. curry is on the list of prospective poop picker uppers at # 31 of 31 prospective poop pickers. The more people apply the lower his # goes.
“You know I fought in Vietnam”
Yeah, you fought like hell to get out of there. I never got a Purple Heart for a paper cut!
I’m surprised Israel responded to that idiot at all.

Lurch falls under the generalheading of “Damn fool”
A left hook while he has hold of Kerry’s right hand would be devastating... :)
The Israeli criticism was remarkably tactful considering what Obama/Kerry are trying to do to her.
He once served the military in Vietnam.
I AGREE WITH ISRAEL.
