MK Nir Barkat (Likud) accused Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid of passing on to the Biden administration an agreement in principle to open a US Consulate in eastern Jerusalem, Israel Hayom reports.
In a letter sent to the two ahead of Bennett’s meeting with US President Joe Biden on Thursday, Barkat writes that he has already addressed the two several times on the matter, “but you did not make an effort, you or whoever is connected to the government, to release a clear statement on the matter, according to which you will oppose this process.” Barkat demands that Prime Minister Bennett and his colleague Lapid make it clear that they are rejecting the request to open the consulate.
The Prime Minister’s Office said: “This never happened.” The Lapid bureau also denied.
