Press TV US Secretary of State John Kerry is to arrive in Israel to inform Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a recent deal that stopped Washington’s military strike against Syria.
Kerry will meet Netanyahu briefly on Sunday one day after sealing a deal with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Syria’s chemical weapons program in Geneva.
“The purpose of the visit is to have an in-depth discussion with the prime minister on the final status negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
“They will also focus on developments in Syria,” she added.
The spokeswoman also said the top US diplomat will travel to Paris on Sunday to meet with the British, French, and Saudi Arabian foreign ministers on Monday.
Israeli media outlet Debkafile reported on Sunday that “Israel is deeply concerned by a sense that the Obama administration has sold out the Syrian rebels and saved [Syrian President] Bashar Assad in a deal with Moscow.”
On Saturday, Kerry and Lavrov reached an agreement on a framework for Syria to verify it is eliminating all its chemical weapons.
They also raised the specter of a potential resolution at the United Nations Security Council to authorize both sanctions and the use of military force if the Syrian government fails to comply.
Under the agreement, the government of President Assad must destroy its stockpile of chemical weapons by mid-2014.
The United States accuses the Syrian government of launching a deadly chemical weapons attack in August. Damascus denied the allegation.
In an interview on Sunday, Lavrov once again refused the allegation of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government, saying the August 21st attack was “fabricated.”

Why do they persist with the fantasy of a resolution at the security council when Russia with China will immediately veto it, the US continues to dream on this path when they know it is unattainable.
Just wondering why Kerry couldn’t have picked up a secure phone to the Israeli’s and has to cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars when a 20 dollar call would have sufficed.
Got to love how Britain even imagines it is a player in this particular game and to be honest after watching Paul Craig Roberts analysis on the whole affair when interviewed by Alex Jones, I am wondering too how America even thinks its still calling the shots here either.
I suspect that Kerry needs to speak to the Israeli’s because they are cooking up something real good or so they think, trouble is none of us will even believe them if they stood on a stack of bibles singing Kum-bi-ya at the end of each sentence. I would def recommend watching that Paul Craig Roberts interview because I agree that in one fell swoop, the US government overreached itself so badly it has probably brought about the beginning of its own end as we know it.
Kerry is going to Israel because he has some butt-kissing to do, and he has to get new marching orders from his Zionist master. (pusillanimous little sycophant that he is)
Kerry has to go lick the arse of his shiester masters. Gee, he must like day old gafildafish juice and crusty kosher ass. Like deep slave kerry, lick deeeeep, and don’t forget to clean every one of their hemeroids. Odo face and a new longer licker to get the job done. Yeeeeeck!
Apparently they were short one clown for their three ring circus over there.
