JERUSALEM: Richard Gere has lashed out at Israel over its settlements in territory that Palestinians want for a state.
The “Pretty Woman” star came to Jerusalem for the local premiere of a new film by Israeli writer-director Joseph Cedar in which he stars.
A story in Sunday’s Haaretz newspaper quoted the actor as saying “settlements are such an absurd provocation … and they are certainly not part of the program of someone who wants a genuine peace process.”Main category: Middle-EastTags: Richard GereIsraeli settlementsHaaretzPalestiniansIsrael
