Israeli Envoy Summoned for Remarks on Netanyahu's Critics

The Israeli ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, has been called back to Israel for a hearing.

This is due to controversial comments he made in a PragerU interview.

He accused critics of Prime Minister Netanyahu of using 'blood libels' and defended Netanyahu.

The Foreign Ministry is conducting an inquiry into the remarks, led by the ministry’s Director General.

Leiter's past comments also drew criticism, including accusations against Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
