Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Palestinian leaders to “hold on and be strong,” resisting President Donald Trump’s policies.
The former Secretary of State told the Palestinian leaders that within a year, there was a good chance that Trump would be out of office.
In the meantime, Kerry said Abbas should “stay strong in his spirit and play for time.”
He said Abbas must “not break” and make clear that he will “not yield to President Trump’s demands.”
Kerry met, in London, with Hussein Agha, a close associate of Palestinian President Mahmout Abbas and told him to ignore President Trump’s demands for a Mideast peace.
In a clear violation of the Logan Act that prohibits private citizens from conducting foreign policy, Kerry told Agha to pass onto Abbas the message to stand firm.
Kerry’s conversations were clear violations of the Logan Act and he should be prosecuted.- READ MORE

The former secretary of state reportedly told Palestinian leaders, including a personal friend of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, that they should “be strong” and “hold on” when it comes to dealing with President Donald Trump.
That’s because Kerry is “seriously considering” challenging him in 2020, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The comments, originally reported by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, came after Kerry met with Hussein Agha, a close confidant of Abbas, in London.
Kerry, who used to serve as a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, reportedly offered the Palestinian government telling details about his future in politics, and gave sharp rebukes to the current White House administration. – READ MORE
