Knesset Member Tzvi Hendel (National Union) has retracted the disparaging remarks he made from the Knesset podium yesterday against US Ambassador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer. Hendel told Arutz-7 this morning that he has criticized the senior diplomat for intervening in Israel’s internal matters “more than once.” Hendel was responding to Kurtzer’s comment earlier this week that Israel should take money away from the battle-beleaguered areas of Judea, Samaria and Gaza and transfer the funds to help the disabled.
