A key Democratic leader on Capitol Hill is calling on Secretary of State John Kerry to cancel his Middle East peace speech scheduled for Wednesday coming days after the US allowed an anti-Israel resolution to pass the United Nations.
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), the Democratic whip in the House of Representatives and the second- highest ranking Democrat in leadership, released a blistering statement Tuesday night calling on the Obama administration to cool it.
Now, it is my understanding that Secretary Kerry, in the last few days of this Administration, intends to outline the parameters of an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. This flies in the face of the United Statess longstanding position that such a formulation should be reached only through negotiations by the parties and not by the United States, the United Nations, or any other third party, Hoyer said.
I urge Secretary Kerry and the Administration not to set forth a formula, which will inevitably disadvantage Israel in any negotiation, Hoyer added.
Instead of turning against Israel, Hoyer urged Kerry and by extension the rest of the Obama Administration now to stand with Israel. . .

What’s the Catch!!!!
Kerry gives this speech and the Democrat party will be pariahs.
Kerry plans to announce a PLA “agreement” with Israel that Israel hasn’t agreed to?
Our (thankfully) departing POTUS and SOS are no better than a couple of college extremists. I knew many of these loser leftists while I was in college. I ridiculed them, until they ran the country.
[Insert broken clock metaphor here.]
A politician trying to look good for the folks back home, Mr. Hoyer appears to be.
John Kerry is trying to distract from failure in Syria with all this hype about the Palestinians and ‘peace’.
In which case maybe it's something we should encouraging, in hopes that a substantial number of the clueless Jewish dhimmicrat voters will FINALLY pull their heads out ?
‘Twould be far better for the multiverse if Kerry would cancel consuming O2.
It is a testament to how low we have come when an ill-educated, lying, treasonous idiot who lied about virtually everyone he has done could become a senator (lower Slovobian for “complete idiot”), and become Secretary of State.
Although, given that the State Department is a work program for college grads who have never had a real job creating anything (and never will), perhaps he is a perfect fit.
Trump, get rid of the slime.
By whatever means you choose.
should ^be^ encouraging
When I think of Kerry, I think of the word DOOFUS
Well, they see the handwriting on the wall. They know that Trump doesn’t run and that there will be consequences for these 11th hour antics.
Kerry is too full of himself to cancel his speech. A blithering idiot will always be a blithering idiot.
I would love to see that happen. It would be final confirmation of the utter incompetence displayed by the Obama administration
This guy and 0bama are completely unaware that they are cementing their legacy as feckless dirtbags, as diplomatic vandals, in this last month of their odious administration. This Israel thing was one really stinky move.
I bet it costs them 2-3% of their liberal Jewish support.
Kerry wants to scuttle any possibility of peace, likely on orders from Obama.
No Japan. What you did is not forgivable.
Satan/Obama/Kerry versus The Holy One of Israel!!!! They will lose like all before them have. This is way bigger than their little finite minds comprehend.
Hitler and Stalin made an agreement regarding Poland that Poland didn't agree to.
