WASHINGTON (AP) — Obama administration officials were fuming Monday over a torrent of Israeli criticism of Secretary of State John Kerry's latest bid to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
In unusually harsh language, officials said the criticism of Kerry could put the relationship between the U.S. and Israel in jeopardy. They also said the personal attacks on Kerry crossed a line and were particularly disappointing at a time of active conflict.
Israeli media commentators have
leveled almost nonstop criticism at Kerry in recent days over his
attempts to bring Qatar and Turkey — two countries viewed by Israel as
strong Hamas supporters — into the cease-fire negotiations. Kerry was
also being accused of abandoning some of Israel's key demands during the
negotiations.
In trying to
implement the cease-fire over the weekend, "U.S. Secretary of State of
State John Kerry ruined everything," wrote columnist Ari Shavit in
Monday's Haaretz, Israel's leading liberal newspaper. "Very senior
officials in Jerusalem described the proposal that Kerry put on the
table as a 'strategic terrorist attack'."
Kerry
made no direct mention of the criticism during brief remarks Monday.
However, he did seek to debunk the notion that the U.S. had backed away
from its support for the demilitarization of Gaza, which has been a top
priority for Israel.
"Any process to resolve the
crisis in Gaza in a lasting and meaningful way must lead to the
disarmament of Hamas and all terrorist groups," Kerry said.
Kerry returned to
Washington Sunday after a week of shuttle diplomacy in the region failed
to secure the weeklong cease-fire he sought.
U.S.
frustration with Israel seeped into the White House's readout of a
phone call Sunday between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The White House said Obama told Netanyahu
that the U.S. had "serious and growing concern" about the worsening
humanitarian situation in Gaza. He also called to an "immediate,
unconditional humanitarian cease-fire," according to the White House.
White House national security
adviser Susan Rice was expected to address the situation in the Middle
East later Monday. The U.S. officials who described the administration's
view of the Israeli criticism insisted on anonymity because they were
not authorized to discuss the matter on the record by name.
