Damn those recorded conversations! The swamp in D.C. is really, really deep. The shadow government is real.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry meddled in Middle East peace talks, telling a close associate of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas not to “yield to President Trump’s demands.”
Israeli news outlet Maariv reported that a recorded meeting between Kerry and Hussein ***** occurred in London, where the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee also reportedly floated a possible encore bid in 2020.
But in the conversation, Kerry told ***** to share a message with Abbas – urging him to “hold on and be strong” during talks with the Trump administration and “play for time ... [and] not yield to President Trump’s demands.”
Kerry, who served as former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state during his second term, also told ***** that Trump would not be in office for long, suggesting he could be out in a year. Kerry’s meeting with Palestinian Authority representatives comes just one month after the Trump administration decided, after years of U.S. promises, to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
