Blinken: Two-State Solution Is Indeed the Only Path Toward a Durable and Sustainable Peace

TRANSCRIPT:

BLINKEN: "Finally, and importantly, even as we work toward progress on each of these urgent needs, we’re focused on setting the conditions for a durable and sustainable peace and security. The United States continues to believe that the best viable path, indeed the only path, is through a two-state solution. That’s the only guarantor of a secure Jewish and democratic Israel; the only guarantor of Palestinians realizing their legitimate right to live in a state of their own, enjoying equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity and dignity; the only way to end a cycle of violence once and for all. And it’s precisely now, in the darkest moments, that we have to fight hardest to preserve a path of stability, of security, of opportunity, of integration, of prosperity and of peace. Not tomorrow, not after the war, but today. Thank you."
