US lashes 'Israel comment' on John Kerry | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The US has condemned as "offensive" reported comments by Israel's defence minister about Secretary of State John Kerry's Middle East peace initiative. | |
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the alleged comments by Moshe Yaalon were "inappropriate" given America's support to Israel's security. | |
Her statement was a rare rebuke to America's close ally in the region. | |
Mr Yaalon was earlier quoted as saying Mr Kerry was acting out of "misplaced obsession and messianic fervour". |
