Kerry: We Abstained on U.N. Resolution Because It Was ‘in Keeping with Our Values’

KERRY: "I think what we are doing is trying to put our experience and the lessons we have learned on the table in as constructive a way as possible in order to get people to stop and think about where this is going. And if we didn’t do that, Andrea, if we sat silent, I guarantee you the policy would continue because we have seen it over the last eight years just continue even when there’s been a conversation about it or an effort to try to move the government in a different direction. So I think that’s really, again, the reason the United States voted the way we did in the U.N. is because it was in keeping with our values of our support and policy for a two-state solution, our support for democracy, our support for an Israel that can be secure."
