On a February trip to the Middle East, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry (D-MA) told Qatari leaders that the Golan Heights should be returned to Syria, that a Palestinian capital should be established in East Jerusalem as part of the Arab-Israeli peace process, and that he was "shocked" by what he saw on a visit to Gaza.
Kerry discussed the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in a visit to Qatar during separate meetings with Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani and the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa, as revealed by the disclosure of diplomatic cables by the website WikiLeaks.
The emir told Kerry to focus on Syria as the path toward resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Kerry agreed with the emir that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a man who wants change but pointed out that his arming of Hezbollah and interference in Lebanese politics were unhelpful. Kerry said that Assad "needs to make a bolder move and take risks" for peace, and that he should be "more statesman-like." Kerry also agreed with the emir that the Golan Heights should be given back to Syria at some point.
"The Chairman added that Netanyahu also needs to compromise and work the return of the Golan Heights into a formula for peace," the diplomatic cable reported.

Kerry: once a traitorous dweeb, always a traitorous dweeb. To think he was a Presidential candidate....
George Soros> TIDES FOUNDATION > Teresa Heinz> Mr. Heinz.
That was easy.
I think the Knessett recently passed a law so that the government cannot cede the Golan or East Jerusalem without consent or undoing of the law they passed in the last week or so.
TeachableMoment calls for Kerry to go fly a kite.
“he was “shocked” by what he saw on a visit to Gaza.”
He must have visited the Gaza Mall.
Kerry must know that this would place Israel in an untenable position with regard to its defense. This man has always been an insufferable jackass and a traitor to his own country. Now he is selling out our only real ally in the Middle East as well.
