U.S. Ambassador Criticizes Israel, Netanyahu Calls Comments "Unacceptable"

(Ynet News) Itay Blumenthal - U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro directed harsh criticism at Israel at an Institute for National Security Studies conference in Tel Aviv on Monday. Shapiro attacked Israel's policy towards the settlements and claimed that "too much vigilantism goes unchecked." He also said, "At times there seems to be two standards of adherence to the rule of law, one for Israelis, and another for Palestinians." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office stated that "the ambassador's words, on a day when a mother of six is buried and a day when a pregnant woman is stabbed, are unacceptable and incorrect. Israel enforces the law equally against Israelis and against Palestinians. It is the Palestinian Authority which is responsible for the political deadlock and which continues to incite and refuses to negotiate."
