John Kerry Dodges on Whether the Western Wall is Part of Israel

‘That has to be resolved in the context of final status negotiations’

EXCERPT:

BLITZER: "Is the Western Wall part of Israel?"

KERRY: "I am – that has to be resolved in the context of final status negotiations. It is the position of the United States that that is a religious site of particular criticality and importance to Israel and that the current status quo with respect to those religious sites must be respected. So we respect Israel’s position without, in effect, speaking yet to the issue of sovereignty because that has to be resolved between the parties."
