Kerry hails Lapid's remarks over PA talks

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has praised the Israeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid for his “brave” stance regarding the 'peace' process with the Palestinian Authority.

"I heard that Finance Minister Yair Lapid is saying courageous things about the peace process. That voice should be heard in Israel," he said.

Lapid has expressed support for Kerry’s plan and has brushed aside security concerns that have been expressed by other Israeli officials.
