Gavin Newsom says he regrets using term ‘apartheid’ to describe Israel

California governor backtracks and says he meant to apply term to Israel’s future if it continues on present trajectory

When asked if he considers himself a Zionist, the governor did not respond directly: “I revere the state of Israel,” he answered. “I’m proud to support the state of Israel. I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu’s leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution and deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what’s going on in the West Bank.”
