Charleston,
SC
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
following
U.S.
Secretary
of
State
John
Kerry’s
speech
regarding
Israel
and
the
Middle
East
today.
“The
‘path
to
peace’
laid
out
today
by
Secretary
Kerry
would
actually
bring
the
exact
opposite
–
it
is
a
path
to
pain.
This
whole
charade
is
putting
Israel
at
a
huge
disadvantage
in
peace
negotiations,
and
needlessly
tests
our
nation’s
relationship
with
a
critical
ally
in
a
volatile
part
of
the
world.
With
three
weeks
left
in
this
administration,
it
is
absolutely
ridiculous
that
they
would
choose
to
continue
antagonizing
Israel.
I
strongly
believe
that
next
month
we
will
make
it
clear
to
the
world
that
the
United
States
stands
with
Israel,
and
that
our
decades-long
friendship
is
solid.”
