kerryU.S. meddling in Israeli-Hamas negotiations has sewn “wreckage” in attempts to end the murderous conflict, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, who points the finger of blame directly at Secretary of State John Kerry.

Speaking on “Special Report with Bret Baier” on Fox News, Krauthammer blasted Kerry, saying he crashed the negotiations uninvited and “undermined” Egypt’s attempts to settle the war in Gaza.

“The Israelis did not invite him,” Krauthammer told Fox. “The Egyptians did not want him and he still says he advanced a peace plan that was sort of building on the Egyptian one. It didn’t at all. It undermined it.”

“Egypt wanted a cease-fire in place, which means no reward for Hamas starting this war by attacking civilians, which is a war crime,” Krauthammer told Fox. “And that was proposed before the ground incursion. The casualties would have been infinitely lower. Israel accepted – Hamas said no.

“Kerry goes over and then he negotiates in Paris with who? Qatar and Turkey, and returns essentially as the lawyer for Hamas and hands Israel a proposition that is so outrageous that the Cabinet votes 19-0 against it.

“Israeli Cabinets have never voted 19-0 on whether the sun rises in the east. It was unbelievable. It would have given Hamas all of its demands,” Krauthammer told Fox News.

Krauthammer told Fox, “Look at the wreckage Kerry has done in intervening in the Israeli-Gaza fighting. A left-wing Israeli paper said Kerry had dug a tunnel under the Egyptian peace plan.

“When you see what happens when America engages, you wonder if we shouldn’t have more disengagement.”
