Kerry, Netanyahu call ‘cut off,’ no call back

Did Bibi Netanyahu hang up on John Kerry? Neither Israel or the State Department dunce Jen Psaki will say, but it sure seems as if Netanyahu hung up on Kerry. When leftist hacks like Psaki start using terms like the phone got ‘cut off’ and claiming ‘communications issue,’ then that should be your hint. In the year 2014, if the State Department can’t aake a simple phone call to a world leader, then what does that say about the State Department?

A call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State John Kerry was disconnected on Sunday, and the two haven’t spoken since, according to various media reports, giving rise to media speculation on the strained state of diplomatic ties between Jerusalem and Washington.

“Their phone call was cut off,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said at a briefing Tuesday, citing a “communications issue.”

Asked by one reporter if Netanyahu had hung up on Kerry in anger, she responded: “Sometimes calls get cut off. You — it was a brief call, is what I’m trying to convey. There was nothing… There was nothing that interesting about it, no. That was not the case. That was not the case.”

Tensions between Israel and the US have run high recently over American efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, with Israeli officials aiming sharp criticism at the secretary for his handling of the negotiations.
