“Washington, D.C. – Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Twitter: “John Kerry will travel to Rome on Sunday to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu on developments in Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem and region.”
“Psaki also added that the meeting will include discussions on various proposals at the United Nations to create a Palestinian state. Jordan circulated a Palestinian-drafted resolution to the 15-member council last month, calling for Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory to end by November 2016.
“It is important to state that the talks come as Israeli politicians campaign ahead of March elections
“US Secretary of State, John Kerry, said “the United States will not intervene in any way in the choice of the Israeli people during the upcoming March 17th election”, during an address to the Brookings Institution’s Saban Forum in D.C.
“He added: “we will work with whatever government is elected, whatever its composition.” Kerry also stressed that whenever the Palestinians and the newly formed Israeli government are ready to return to negotiations and make hard choices, the US will be willing to be involved and to assist.
However, it’s a well-known fact that there is hardly any love between the US Secretary of State and Israeli Prime Minister. That could offer an explanation for Kerry’s unexpected comments at the end of his address.
“I personally am a strong believer in the fact that, with all due respect, Benjamin Netanyahu is the biggest obstacle for the progress and development of Israel. It is obvious that he considers himself to be the first among equals and the United States will live up to its promises of providing help and council for the negotiations between Israel and Palestine, but only under the condition that Netanyahu willingly steps down from office”, the Secretary of State was heard saying.
Kerry concluded his address with a bombshell: “I personally respect Israel as a country, and even admire it. But how a country full of such smart and disciplined people could have elected an idiot like Benji for Prime Minister is beyond me.”

JF Kerry could learn from Binny N, a man of courage and one who loves his country. JF Kerry, not so much. Maybe Theresa Heinz will buy him a bigger yacht and they can sail off into the sunset and spare us from more idiocy.

Kerry just brought a curse on himself speaking against Israel’s leader. May Hashem protect PM Netanyahu and may he be blessed!
Noah Pinto
Maybe Kerry would prefer someone from Isis or the Brotherhood (remember Egypt)?
Louise Alberto McAtee
This is outrageous that Prime Minister Netanyahu would be treated so disrespectfully … what a disgrace.
Bruce Brenan
Kerry is as much of a blowhard as Jon Gruber…………………. the only diff betw the 2 is that Kerry hasn’t had his defining Gruber moment yet.
Lorri Stratton Peterman
Who the he!! Does he think he is?? Israel is not an American “territory”, it is a sovereign country who does not have to obey the wishes of one flamingly coceited idiot “representative” of our country…and he is essentially threatening that the US will Bully its way into governing their affairs i need be in order to get what Kerry & Obama (NOT the citizens) want, and NOT what was rightfully & lawfully obtained after WWII by the UN and the 6-day war of 1967 when they were ATTACKED and fought back rightfully/mightily to obtain Jerusalem and some more land. Now they are being presured to forfeit what they rightfully gained, while NO other countries who benefitted from the defining of new borders by the UN are being asked to give up ANYTHING !!!
Lorri Stratton Peterman
Kerry and Obama are terribly intimidated by Ben N because he has a mind of his own…his goal is to protect his country, and he is strategic & determined enough to do so, but that doesn’t fit thttt^eir agenda

Kerry Says The US Won’t Interfere With Israeli Election: “We Only Need To Be Sure That Netanyahu Will Step Down” Kerry you lying SOB!
Dan Shan
I doubt Netanyahu gives a flying matzo ball what Kerry thinks, Obama either for that matter. Israel is a sovereign nation on the other side of the planet. Netanyahu is doing the job of protecting his country from muslim extremists bent on their destruction. If he followed Americas example he would appoint the Islamic Brotherhood to positions of power inside the government. Now John Kerry, who is the idiot?
Daniel Pietroniro
Bibi is as far from an idiot as you are from a genius. but as an observant american citizen, i can attest to one point you raise: idiots most certainly do get elected by educated people.
Ezra Ben Abraham
The arrogance of Lurch.
Amazing how small he is.
Josef Zuares
why can’t Obama and his buddies talk like that to Puttin? A bunch of anti semites that still think the Jew is to there to be stepped on.Let the people know that the final showdown is in the making!Our prophets,by G-d’s words,have prophetized that a supposeded friend,will turn his coat on Israel and will cause troubles,but at the end He will put things straight.Pharaon! If you don’t let my people be,I,the G-d of Israel,master of all Universes,shall bring the plagues onto you ,so you may know that I am the defender of Israel.Obama is dangerous now,because he has nothing to lose,and all his hopes came tumbilg down.Let the Congress impeach the traitor,before the plagues hit the whole country.
Josef Zuares
Please people Google in Netanyahu.He is one of the smartest man on earth!The eleventh! He scored 180 of IQ! Now you can understand the hatred these guys have for him!He is just too smart to be manipulated by a bunch of rejects!
Phyllis Kotton
It looks like Obuma is determined to make all the new rules as to how Israel should exist. Well Obuma to hell with you. You are not a friend to Israel, this you have made very clear. The American People are our friends. Obuma is a Muslim who will side with all Muslim Countries, he is also very cleverly turning America into a Muslim Country. He will not tell Israel what to do and what not to do, he must remember his place and he is not a Leader of the State of Israel. No two State solution in Israel, let the Arabs go to Egypt or Jordan where they belong, Israel will not give up her boarders, nor will she be pushed around, we will fight all those who have other ideas for Israel.
Jack Brown
John Kerrry Fonda always was a traitor
Marc Rosenblatt
We don’t need the United States to dictate the solution to Israel’s issues. For John Kerry to call Bibi an idiot is the pot calling the kettle black. Let Kerry keep bending over for Obama and stay out of the Middle East politics. For Kerry to serve the Arabist, a be a phony and hypocrite, after telling everyone what a good friend Netanyahu is or was is over the top. Obama is a snake and he will continue with his 18 months left in office to try to destroy Israel from the vantage of Arab occupation of our country.
Christopher Blanton
If you are here,commenting on any story on this website,because you believed even ONE word…you probably should not be on the internet.

I am so glad Bibi won. Not only is it better for Israel, but because anything that causes Obama pain is worth doing twice.
Jeff Davis
John kerry is a moron idiot and who does he think he’s speeking for the majority of the america people want to see netanyahu retain his prime minister status and this socialist idiot john kerry doesn’t speek for all americans only these dirty bleeding heart liberals like Barack Obama and hillary clinton who are nothing but a bunch failures and socialist liberal communist john kerry is a joke and a puppet for obama to give orders to Israel has a blessing when it comes to netanyahu because he’s a real leader and he knows you can’t negotiate with terrorist organizations such as Islamic radical muslims that are using the palastinians land and country to launch attacks on Israel and they will never stop attacking Israel because they hate the jewish people and will never leave them alone.

Sandi Nichols
I am at a total loss as to what business ovomit and Kerry have in who is voted in as Prime Minister in Israel. Ovomit continues to do his dirty work spending taxpayer money in doing all he can to undermine this election. It looks like Netanyahu has won. I pray it is true. We need Bibi in this position. I only wish our country had a true leader like Netanyahu, and the King of Jordan.
Jerry Buckley
Well, look at the picture… Lurch and Netanyahu! Isn’t it wonderful for us that he could lose election after election AND STILL become Secretary of State Following Pillory Clinton? The mind reels!!!
Albert Barnshaw Thompson

Sidney Joseph
KERRY IS APUPET OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT WILL USHER IN THE anti Christ BUT ONCE AGAIN THE LARGER PORTION OF THE WORLD ARE TRAPPED IN THE QUEST FOR WORDLY POSSESIONS. OPEN THE BIBLE AND LEARN TO UNDERSTAND, ” YAWEH ” HAS NEVER NEVER MADE A FALSE PROMISE. YOU OWE TO YOUR CHILDREN TO TURN THE TABLES ON THE DISPICABLE ORGANISATIONS OF THE WORLD THAT KERRY AND HIS ILKE REPRESENT.
Lawrence Prabhakar Williams
John Kerry and Barack HUSSEIN Obama are known to be the two most wanted felons and criminals in the world for wrecking havoc these past six years. Kerry we know is the betrayer to the North Vietnamese and a coward (notwithstanding his physical stature) a spineless compromiser. Barack Obama as we know is a pot-smoking marijuna abusing person who from nowhere by hiding all his personal details has usurped the White House. Efforts of these two criminals and felons to unseat Bibi has miserably backfired. That is the reality. Impeachment and Imprisonment of these two criminals is the only solution for the USA.
Bud Graywolf Hill
Hey MORON, how about looking at the United States, and look at the idiot that has been elected and then re-elected to the White House and how about your own state for electing and re-electing you to the Senate for how many times. A bunch of real idiots we have in this country!!!!
Brent Ramey
