Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that US Secretary of State John Kerry would meet with him on Friday, but Kerry himself told reporters Monday he would be unable to make the trip so soon.
CNN says this was not a benign mix-up, and that the two countries “were unable to agree on when Kerry would next travel to Israel for talks with Netanyahu on the Iranian issue,” a fact that is “a sign of the level of disconnect” between Jerusalem and Washington.
Kerry said Monday he would not be able to visit Israel over the coming weekend, despite Netanyahu's announcement that he would. Instead, Kerry said he would try to visit Israel again after the November 28 Thanksgiving holiday. It will be his eighth visit to Israel since he took up the post as America's top diplomat in February.
“It looks as if I probably will not be able to get there over the course of this weekend,” Kery said. “But I am committed to going in order to engage in the ongoing discussions that we are currently engaged in shortly after the Thanksgiving break, as soon as we can work out the timings."

Build another half million housing units and then invite the gentleman to visit for a nice tour.
Would you want that sanctimonious gigolo in your country? In a week, he’d try to woo half the available dowagers in the nation.
I would not want Kerry to visit my house.Can’t blame Bibi for prevaricating.
I don’t want Kerry in my country.
If I were Netanyahu I would not allow him to land in Israel.
Netanyahu best keep his plans to himself, else Obama, Jarrett & Rice will tell their Iranian friends.
Kerry’s going to be tied up the next couple of weeks discussing strategy with our new Iranian allies. Thanks Nachum.
