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.”
Kerry probably again asked
Netanyahu to meet Hamas half way
