Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected US Secretary of State John Kerry's proposal to visit Israel following his election win in March and told him instead to come only after the new government was formed.
According to a report on Israel's Channel 2, immediately after Israel's general election on March 17, Kerry proposed that he would visit the Jewish state in order to advance various regional issues.
The Prime Minister's Office did not confirm the report on Sunday evening.
Relations between Netanyahu and the administration of US President Barack Obama have been tense over the last few months.
On Election Day Netanyahu angered the White House when he warned the Israeli public to go out and vote because "Arab voters are going en masse to the polls."
In addition, the White House said following Netanyahu's election win that it would evaluate its policy on the Middle East peace process following a remark that the prime minister made during his campaign that that a Palestinian state would not emerge under his tenure.
At the time, the White House said that the remarks called into question Netanyahu's commitment to the pursuit of peace and have forced the US government to reassess the the government's stance.
On the Iranian nuclear issue, Netanyahu has been the most vocal critic of the framework deal reached between the Islamic Republic and the US along with other world powers.
Don’t let Ketchup Boy into Israel at all.
Hardly worth mentioning. Netanyahu hasn’t even put together a government yet, and his coalition partners will get a say in any dealings with Kerry.
I thought Israel had much more power in American politics than it does. Now i realize that with the wrong American president, Israel faces great danger from many sides.
They are courageous and strong, no doubt, but without America, they are only six million people surrounded by a food of hate trying to engulf them.
we NEED Cruz of course for our benefit, but for Israel’s too. They have been a good ally. God please let them survive until 2017. I’ve said it before, my nightmare scenario is Israel trying to attack Iran’s nuke reactors and American jets intercepting!!!! IF that order is ever given, please God let the American servicemen refuse.
Would you let Lurch visit you if you just won a contest of some kind?
you are behind the times. Heinz was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway and then by Kraft
Why should Benjamin Netanyahu be inconvenienced by this slobbering (over Iranians) half wit half Jew named John Kerry?
(Kerry has two Jewish grandparents)
“Would you let Lurch visit you if you just won a contest of some kind?”
Well,,, yeah! But I’d laugh in his face, and ridicule him endlessly. But that’s just me.
Kerry made quite an impression on the Iranians. They incorporated the word “Kerry” into the Farsi language. It means “pompous gullible fool”. Wonder what it means in Hebrew?
I agree except I’d ridicule him without stop and b****-slap him until he was even more senseless.
The only thing JFnK ever "accomplished" in his worthless, underachieving life, is marrying the widow of a ketchup heir.
John Kerry, as increasingly appears to be with the majority of leaders from America, is a botoxed vain, vile arrogant corrupt deceitful man,
Netanyahu should always be busy whenever he comes calling, never finding the time,
He should reject out of hand anything that fly-infested obama, or jarret, rice, powers, mccain, clinton, graham or biden would ever suggest about anything or ever desire as a solution to anything, they are evil and given over to evil, reprobates one and all, nothing good will ever come from their plans and schemes,
This is why America finds herself in such dire times today,
This is who we as a nation have been given over too:
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; “ Romans 1:28
Kerry is not all that you say he is...
Well, he has used botox; and, I’ll give you that he is indeed quite vain; oh, yes, you are 100% correct he is vile arrogant corrupt and deceitful. But, he clearly is not... er.... whatever that last thing you called him.
Good for Bibi!
lol
After Obama sent his thugs over to try to oust Bibi, Kerry better be glad he didn’t have an unfortunate encounter with Mossad.
Good decision. Kerry would only have been there to cause trouble in the formation of a new Israeli government.
Obama and his minions can’t destroy Israel.
...particularly after he and the little emperor tried to defeat you with illegal taxpayer money.
Another reason why I'm starting to despise Republicans in Congress-Why is someone not being questioned under oath about this??
Did he not rise in part due to the wealth of Teresa Heinz?
