Yes, thats exactly what Kerry told them to do. He said he didnt think Trump would be president for very long and that anyway, he, Kerry, would probably be president in 2020. So basically the Palestinians are free to say any old thing they want to Trump and totally ignore him because, well, hes technically the President but what he says really doesnt matter and anyway his 2020 replacement, standing there in the flesh, has a different idea.
Somebody tell me why this doesnt constitute a violation of the Logan act, or at least some kind of unconstitutional interference in foreign affairs.
When your opponent is digging a hole for himself with a huge excavator, never make him turn it off. Kerry did both the US and Israel a huge favor while stoking his ego.
The irony of this whole thing is delicious.
