Kerry bemoans 'eroding' support for 2 states among Israelis

“The majority of the current coalition [in Israel] doesn’t favor two states,” Kerry says after a discussion of larger regional issues. That is why, he says, he’s “pushing uphill, for the moment.”

Asked when Israel will have lost its chance for a two-state solution, and by extension, a Jewish-majority state and a democracy, he says that will be decided by “people on the ground.”

He talks about a “slow erosion” of the commitment to the goal of a two-state solution among Israelis.

“I’m a friend; American is a friend; and we’re the best friend Israel has,” Kerry says, but he cautions that Jerusalem will have to make a “real effort” to achieve peace.
