WASHINGTON – Lincoln Chafee ended his Democratic presidential bid Friday after surveys and campaign finance reports showed the former Rhode Island governor failing to gain support either from voters or donors.
"As you know I have been campaigning on a platform of Prosperity Through Peace," Chafee told a Democratic National Committee forum Friday morning, NBC News reported. "But after much thought, I have decided to end my campaign for president today."
BERLIN (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Thursday for an immediate end to incitement blamed for a recent deadly wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis.
Meeting in Berlin as Kerry waded into the volatile mix of spiraling tensions in a bid to de-escalate the situation, the pair condemned the attacks. Kerry called for an end to all incitement and all violence but Netanyahu pointedly repeated earlier direct accusations that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is to blame, saying he is "spreading lies" about Israel and the status of the holy site at the center of the tensions.
