The Obama Administration has “no regrets” over its attempts to broker a cease-fire agreement with Hamas, despite reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admonished State Department officials “not to ever second guess me again,” after militants violated the peace agreement.
“We have absolutely no regrets of working with both parties, with the Egyptians, with the Qataris, with the Turks, to do everything possible to put in place a prolonged cease-fire,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told CNN on Monday.
Psaki would not comment directly on the reported exchange between Netanyahu, Secretary of State John Kerry, and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro.
The Associated Press, citing officials familiar with the discussion, said Netanyahu told the Americans he should be “trusted” on his read of Hamas’s willingness to abide by a cease-fire agreement.
“I’m obviously not going to speak to reports of leaked private diplomatic conversations, but I will say … with every day that passes and every day that passed last week, more people were dying,” Psaki said.
