Meretz chairwoman Zehava Gal-On later railed against Friedman's nomination on Friday, saying his designation would have a detrimental impact on hopes for a two-state negotiated settlement with the Palestinians. 'David Friedman is a catastrophic choice for the American ambassador,' Gal-On said in a statement. 'I really love these Jews,' she continued, 'who are live abroad and express their opinion on how the two-state solution is not attractive and the path towards peace is a failed idea, when we [Israelis] are sitting here and pay the cost of unnecessary war.' 'This is the best appointment Netanyahu could wish for.'
