Why did Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon attack John Kerry and his staff a few days ago? Although he has since apologised, the fact that Yaalon spoke out against the Secretary of State of #Israels main ally and supporter was astonishing. According to Maariv מעריב, Kerry and his staff have been trying to convince Israel aggressively on the need to withdraw from the #JordanValley. That alone prompted Yaalon to launch his verbal assault on the senior US official. The newspaper noted that Kerry was applying serious pressure to convince the Israelis to accept the US position regarding the border between Palestine and Jordan. The minister decided that this was unacceptable interference in Israeli affairs. https://middleeastmonitor/news/middle-east/9268-why-did-israeli-minister-attack-kerry
