Jay Leno to host award ceremony in Israel, quips John Kerry is not welcome

"I guess any American that's not John Kerry is more than welcome there right now," Leno said.
Kerry recently caused an uproar when he warned that Israel could become an "apartheid state" if it doesn't reach a peace deal with the Palestinians.
The late night legend is heading to Israel on May 22 to host the awards ceremony of the $1 million Genesis Prize in Jerusalem. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg is being honored as the first recipient of what has been dubbed "the Jewish Nobel Prize" for his years of public service and philanthropy.
Netanyahu will headline a list of more than 400 dignitaries in the audience that will include business leaders, Nobel laureates, philanthropists and entertainers. Grammy-winning pianist Evgeny Kissin will also perform.
Leno said he will run his jokes by the "appropriate people" ahead of time to avoid saying anything inappropriate. But he said Netanyahu and Bloomberg, one of the world's richest men, can expect to be the target of some of his zingers.
