A senior US State Department official has slammed Israel’s new cabinet for its declared opposition to a two-state solution, saying it would make it hard for Washington to continue protecting Tel Aviv.
Sherman was addressing the biennial of the Religious Action Center in Washington.
She said the US has so far been a staunch supporter of Israel.
Sherman stressed that the US is closely monitoring the situation as a right-wing cabinet is being formed under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
During his election campaign before March elections, Netanyahu said he would not allow the creation of an independent Palestinian state if he gets re-elected.
Netanyahu’s radical Likud Party won the vote.
