MK Moshe Ya'alon (Blue and White) strongly criticized the Prime Minister after a senior State Department official said the issue of annexation of the Jordan Valley did not come up at the Netanyahu-Pompeo meeting.
"The embarrassing denial by the U.S. State Department of Netanyahu's statement that raised the issue of annexing the Jordan Valley to the Secretary of State, sharpens the danger of defendant Netanyahu's term. Someone who mortgaged state interests to escape the defendants' bench is spreading lies for political purposes, and is hurting important relationships with the U.S. government," Ya'alon wrote in his Twitter account.
