Kerry: Building settlements demolishing Palestinians' homes not a solution


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Washington Dec.15 (Petra)--The US Secretary of State john Kerry criticized the Israeli government and its policy towards the conflict the Palestinians.

In an interview with the New Yorker Kerry said that Israel risks becoming 'a unitary state that is impossible to manage.

He also speaks about a 2010 Israel-Syria peace proposal that never came to pass.

"It is not an answer to simply continue to build in the West Bank and to destroy the homes of the other folks you're trying to make peace with and pretend that that's a solution" he stated.

When asked if he could imagine the end of the State of Israel Kerry responded: "No I don't believe that's going to happen. It's just What is it going to be like is the question.

"Will it be a democracy? Will it be a Jewish state? Or will it be a unitary state with two systems or some draconian treatment of Palestinians because to let them vote would be to dilute the Jewish state? I don't know. I have no answer to that. But the problem is neither do they. Neither do the people who are supposed to be providing answers to this" Kerry explained.

"I happen to believe there is a way forward. There's a solution. It would be good for Israel; it'd be great for the Palestinians; it'd be great for the region" Kerry insisted.

"People would make so much money. There'd be so many jobs created. There could be peace. And you would be stronger for it" Kerry added.
