Theresa May criticises Obama administration’s Israeli stance

LONDON: Prime Minister Theresa May has distanced herself from US President Barack Obama’s stance on Israel and condemned the attack by his secretary of state on the Israeli government. Downing Street said it was “not appropriate” for John Kerry to brand Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration as the “most right wing in history”, which saw him accused of bias by the Israeli prime minister. Kerry made the claim while accusing Netanyahu’s government of undermining attempts at a two-state solution to the conflict with the Palestinians by building settlements in the West Bank.
