Saeb ErekatPresidential candidate Newt Gingrich damaged American attempts at diplomacy in the Middle East with his recent comments attacking Palestinians. Appearing on the Jewish Channel, Gingrich referred to “the invented Palestinian people.” The disgraced former speaker of the House’s comments have been condemned by Saeb Erekat, an advisor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, as “despicable” and “the lowest point of thinking anyone can reach.”

The official stance of the Obama administration is that there should be a two-state solution in the Middle East, negotiated by Palestinians and Israelis. [Reuters]
