    Speaking at the union’s biennial conference in the U-S city of Orlando, Rick Jacobs called Tel Aviv’s policy towards Palestinians 'misguided'.

    Jacobs also highlighted that the reform movement is opposed to Israeli settlement activities in the West Bank.

    He noted that Israel has become intolerant not just of Palestinians, but also of non-Orthodox or Ethiopian Jews.

    The president of the "Union for Reform Judaism" however said Israel’s safety and security is a primary concern for the movement.

    Jacobs urged Palestinians and Israelis to calm the tensions in the occupied territories.
