McCain: Netanyahu worried about Kerry's plan

US Republican Senator John McCain, who is currently on a visit to Israel, said on Friday that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has “serious, serious concerns” about Secretary of State John Kerry’s proposal for a framework for compromise with the Palestinian Authority.

McCain is in Israel along with Republican Senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Lindsey Graham. The three met with Netanyahu on Friday afternoon.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu has serious, serious concerns about the plan as has been presented to him, whether it be on the ability of Israel to defend 'its borders' or the reliability of a Palestinian state and their intentions," McCain told reporters after the meeting, according to the AFP news agency.

Israelis were also particularly concerned about "their overall security, whether it be boundaries, whether it be areas under Palestinian control," he added.

McCain said he shares Netanyahu’s concerns about whether some parts of the plan being discussed are enforceable, viable options that do not jeopardize Israel’s security, reported The Associated Press (AP).
