With Israeli politicians pouncing on US Secretary of State John Kerry for allegedly encouraging a boycott against Israel, the State Department issued a statement Sunday urging that Kerry’s words be portrayed “accurately.”
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that Kerry has a “proud record of over three decades of steadfast support for Israel’s security and well-being, including staunch opposition to boycotts.
Just last year, while briefing Foreign Ministers at an EU conference in Vilnius on his peacemaking efforts, he urged them to refrain from implementing these types of measures.”
Psaki said that at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday Kerry “spoke forcefully in defense of Israel’s interests, as he consistently has throughout his public life. In response to a question about the peace process, he also described some well-known and previously stated facts about what is at stake for both sides if this process fails, including the consequences for the Palestinians. His only reference to a boycott was a description of actions undertaken by others that he has always opposed.”
