Herzog tells Kerry alliance with Arab neighbors could lead to peace

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog says he told US Secretary of State John Kerry that a regional battle against Iran and the Islamic State could lead to a two-state solution.

“I told Kerry that it can lay the groundwork for a process of separating from the Palestinians as part of Israel’s defense doctrine before we turn into a hell of a one-state solution, like Israstine,” he tells Ynet.

He says his plan includes an alliance with Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
