US says Israeli minister’s ‘no Palestinians’ remarks ‘dangerous’
Washington, United States (AFP):
The United States on Tuesday joined denunciations of Israel’s far-right finance minister for denying the existence of Palestinians, calling his remarks “dangerous.”
“We found those comments to not only be inaccurate but also deeply concerning and dangerous,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters, also calling Bezalel Smotrich’s remarks Sunday in Paris “offensive.”
