Jake Tapper: State Department's Jen Psaki omits Netanyahu from statement on ceasefire

State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki seems to have forgotten someone in the department’s statement on the latest ceasefire brokered between Israel and Hamas.

In statement on ceasefire, State Dept spox Psaki praises the govt of Egypt and PA President Abbas. Netanyahu goes unmentioned.

Really?

@jaketapper Yep that's Obama's State Dept. spoke person. Another dumb political hack.

@jaketapper What? Another slap in the face of an ally, or our one time ally? Should amaze, but sadly is par for the course. #GolfReference

@jaketapper does that strike you as wise, spiteful, petty or strategic?

— Jeff Schroeffel (@capdc) August 5, 2014

Definitely not wise, coming from the State Department.

Petty MT @jaketapper In statement on ceasefire, @statedeptspox praises govt of Egypt & PA President Abbas. Netanyahu goes unmentioned

Or any other Gov outside our inept, juvenile State Dept.

@jaketapper That really ticked me off.

@jaketapper This is because this WH wants to paint Israel as the uncaring aggressor and Gaza as victims. Problem is, fewer are buying it.
