A Diplomatic Embarrassment

The President of the United States announced what he described as an Israeli government proposal for a permanent ceasefire; today the Prime Minister of Israel said the proposal was a nonstarter. 

Either there was a significant misunderstanding, or one of the governments is outright lying. Whichever, it’s an embarrassment that will significantly undermine American diplomacy across the world.

Perhaps another Egyptian is passing along what he thinks should be a breakthrough proposal. If we're lucky. More likely it's one of our folks with a bright idea that "nobody could possibly disagree with."
