WASHINGTON Authentic Orlando Arcia Jersey , March 18 (Xinhua) -- The White House on Wednesday slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his campaign comments about Arab-Israeli voters after his win in parliamentary elections.
The U.S. is "deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.
"It undermines the values and democratic ideals that have been important to our democracy and an important part of what binds the United States and Israel together."
On a video posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Netanyahu told his supporters that big masses of Arab voters are going out to vote.
The only way to "save the right-wing rule" is going to the poll stations and narrowing the gap between his Likud party and the Zionist Union, he said.
Shelly Yachimovich Authentic Matt Garza Jersey , a lawmaker from the Zionist Union, denounced Netanyahu's statements as "racist."
On Wednesday, Earnest also reaffirmed the U.S. endorsement of the two-state solution in Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"It has long been the policy of the United States and it continues to be the view of the President that a two-state solution is the best way to address those tensions and address that instability," Earnest said.
