Netanyahu Apologizes for Comments
About Israeli Arabs - NYTimes.com
(October 17, 2016)
On March 23, 2015, Hillary Clinton and John Podesta received an email from Jake Sullivan, the top foreign policy advisor of the Clinton campaign, containing a link to a New York Times article in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu apologized for his pre-election day comments that Israeli-Arab citizens were coming out to vote “in droves.” Sullivan quips that “Pragmatic Bibi makes an appearance,” and Hillary responds that the conciliatory opening should be exploited, adding that a “Potemkin” (false, or deceptive) peace process is better than nothing.
