US administration officials are livid following Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s call to “wipe out” the Arab village of Huwara and plan to boycott him during his visit to the US next week, Channel 12 News reported on Friday.

A senior Israeli official quoted in the report said that Smotrich is considered "persona non grata" in Washington, DC. The official noted the administration was not enthusiastic about Smotrich even before the comments on Huwara and that has deepened since the incident.

"If Smotrich was 'persona non grata' before that statement, now after this debacle he is 'persona non grata' on steroids," added the same senior official, who added, "No American official will meet with Smotrich. After he said these things, the phones in the offices in Jerusalem did not stop ringing."

The US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, also expressed himself in an unprecedented manner regarding the Israeli minister, according to Channel 12 News.

"I am really angry with him. He is a fool," Nides reportedly said of Smotrich, adding, "He has a flight to Washington, and if I could, I would throw him off the plane."

The US Embassy in Israel would initially not comment on the report, but later denied Nides had made these comments. READ MORE
