Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that the statement of American Secretary of State John Kerry about the intifada reflected the ugly image of the United States.

Abu Zuhri said, in a press release on Saturday, that Kerry’s statement, describing the intifada activities as acts of terrorism, legitimizes and supports Israeli crimes.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged return to calm in occupied Jerusalem, calling on Palestinians to stop what he characterized as "terrorist attacks".
