Did Israel Chastise Kerry?

Is this excerpted from an actual and genuine news story?

Israel's state media has chastised US Secretary of State John Kerry for highlighting US concerns over Israel’s increasingly assertive claims to disputed territory to its east in Judea and Samaria. On Friday, he cautiously criticized the country’s unilateral recent declaration that the country would continue to construct in those territories and also retain them, without a full declaration of sovereignty due to important security requirement in the face of Arab threats as well as the historic connection between the Jewish people and that area, despite a claim by Arabs.“We’ve expressed our concern about the need to try to establish a calmer, more rule-of-law based, less confrontational regime” in the disputed areas, Kerry said. 

No.  Of course not.
This is the true story:

Chinese state media has chastised Kerry for highlighting US concerns over China’s increasingly aggressive claims to disputed territory in the east and south China seas. On Friday, he cautiously criticized the country’s unilateral declaration in November of an air defense identification zone (Adiz) over a swath of the east China sea also claimed by Japan.
“We’ve expressed our concern about the need to try to establish a calmer, more rule-of-law based, less confrontational regime” in the disputed areas, Kerry said. “This includes the question of how an Adiz might or might not come about.”
