Kerry to Travel Israel to Stop Terror Attacks
- 9 years ago
After earlier having condemned the latest terror wave in Israel, Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday he will travel to the region soon to try to calm violence between Palestinians and Israelis.
"I will go there soon, at some point appropriately, and try to work to reengage and see if we can't move that away from this precipice," Kerry was quoted by Reuters as having told an audience at an event sponsored by Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
Kerry said the United States' goal for the region, the two-state solution, "could conceivably be stolen from everybody" if violence in the region were to spiral out of control.
"You have this violence because there's a frustration that is growing and a frustration among Israelis who don't see any movement," Kerry said, according to Reuters.
