Israeli envoy warned about PM's international spokesman

Israel’s Ambassador to the US, Ron Dermer, acknowledged on Friday that he had been warned about the behavior of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s international spokesman David Keyes towards women, but did not pass the information on to Netanyahu due to the fact that the alleged actions were not of a criminal nature.

The statement came after Bret Stephens, at the time a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, said he contacted Dermer on November 2, 2016 to tell him that Keyes “posed a risk to women in Israeli government offices.”
