U.S.: the referendum bill is “an internal Israeli issue.”

By Ted Belman

This is a strange turn around for the U.S.

Asked if the Obama administration is “concerned” by the new law, the U.S. State Department replied, “This is an internal Israeli issue, and the Israeli government is in the best position to address inquiries related to its process.”

I would have thought that house construction and demolitions were likewise an “internal Israeli issue”.
