White House fingers HAARETZ for distorting message to Palestinian leaders

A U.S. National Security Council spokesman confirmed that an op-ed headline from Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East peace process, was indeed changed by Haaretz editors, and openly accused the Israeli ‘left’ newspaper of revealing a bias toward conflict in doing so, which has led to a false, misleading narrative that was ‘delivered’ to the Palestinian Authority.
