It was his first major interview with Israeli media, presstv.com reported.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIsrael occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds during the Six Day War in 1967. It later annexed East Jerusalem al-Quds in a move not recognized by the international community. In November 1967, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted Resolution 242, under which Israel is required to withdraw from all territories seized in the war.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tUS politicians, as high in ranking as President Donald Trump himself, have in the past exhibited a loose relationship with facts. But it is unlikely that Friedman used the phrase in the Friday interview unwittingly. He is a hawkish politician known for his hard-line stance against Palestinians. His remark did contradict both US foreign policy and international opinion on the issue, however.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to The Guardian, a Palestinian official whom the British paper did not name demanded clarification from the US regarding Friedman\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cOur understanding is that when someone has an official position, like being an ambassador, this person does no longer speak in a personal capacity. Friedman should realize that denying facts doesn\u2019t mean that they don\u2019t exist,\u201d the Palestinian official said.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe official said the US envoy \u201chas an extensive record of attacks against the national rights of the Palestinian people, including funding illegal colonial-settlements and participating in celebrations of the Israeli occupation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPalestinian officials said they want the decades-long conflict with Israel resolved based on the so-called two-state solution along the pre-1967 boundaries. However, Israel seeks to maintain its grip on the Palestinian lands and has been building settlements deep within territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman has used the word \u2018alleged\u2019 to refer to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
