On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz criticized Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for comments he made during Tuesday's party debate in which he spoke about potentially moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel, from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv.
Katz's comments stem directly from Sanders' answer to a question during Tuesday's debate when the Vermony senator was asked by moderator Major Garrett,"What would you say to American Jews who might be concerned you're not, from their perspective, supportive enough of Israel, and specifically, would you move the U.S.
"Now, in the new peace plan, the deal of the century, he recognizes Jerusalem in its entirety as Israel's capital. And we will stick to that and insist on that, and of course act to persuade [people] in the U.S. regarding those things. And whoever comes out against that – naturally, people who very much support Israel will not tend to support him [Sanders]," Katz added.
