The Israeli prime minister supports an independent Kurdish state in contrast to Secretary of State John Kerry who recently met with the leader of the Kurds and strongly urged him not to break away from Iraq
In my opinion, the Kurds should break away from Iraq and form their own independent state. They’ve had their act together all along while the rest of Iraq has been beset by conflicts between the majority Shiites and minority Sunnis.
I believe Netanyahu has the right idea. As long as the Kurds remain a part of Iraq, they will get the short end of the stick from the Shiites and Sunnis.

Since Netanyahu has to live with the situation and Kerry is a clueless empty suit, I would go with the Jew on this one. He has more invested in the situation and more to lose with a bad outcome.
