PM denies he’ll review choice of media chief who called Obama anti-Semitic
Despite clear American anger, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that he did not tell US Secretary of State John Kerry that he is going to reconsider his appointment of a controversial new media chief who has called President Barack Obama anti-Semitic and has mocked Kerry.

The storm over the appointment of Baratz has soured preparations for Netanyahu’s meeting with Obama at the White House on Monday.
Baratz’s comments about the president and the secretary are deemed “troubling and offensive,” said Kirby. “We understand the prime minister will be reviewing this appointment when he returns from his visit to the United States,” Kirby said.
“We obviously expect government officials from any country, especially our closest allies, to speak respectfully and truthfully about senior US government officials,” said Kirby, adding that “it’s a rule you learn in kindergarten about name-calling and it’s simply not a polite thing to do.”
