Susan Rice: Attacks on Kerry in Israel are unfounded, unacceptable
 [Jerusalem Post] US National Security Advisor Susan Rice came to the defense on Tuesday of US Secretary of State John Kerry after he was roundly criticized by a number of Israeli government officials over comments that he made on the weekend about the Israeli Palestinian peace talks. Kerry said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, that a consequence for Israel if it does not reach a peace deal is an economic boycott against it. Following Kerry's remarks Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett said: "We expect our friends in the world to stand by our side against anti-Semitic boycott efforts against Israel, and not be their trumpet." Rice, who was the US envoy to the UN before her current post tweeted "Personal attacks in Israel directed at Sec[retary] Kerry [are] totally unfounded and unacceptable. The US government has been clear and consistent that we reject efforts to boycott or delegitimize Israel." Susan Rice, an old administration expert on "unfounded and unacceptable" statements.
