Kerry says one state would be ‘separate and unequal’

Kerry says that if there is only one state. there would be “millions of Palestinian permanently living” in the West Bank with no rights, under a military occupation, with inferior education and health services.

“Separate and unequal is what you would have and nobody can explain how that works,” he says.

Rattling off questions about how a binational state would work, he says nobody has provided “good answers to these questions because there aren’t any.”

Kerry also predicts additional violence under these circumstances.

He says he can “say with certainty” that Israel will never have peace with Arab states without a Palestinian state.

But he confirms that shared interests, fears about Iran, has changed the situation.

Arab leaders are ready to have a “fundamentally different relationship with Israel,” he says.

Kerry says Arab leaders have confirmed they will “work openly” with Israel if progress is made with the Palestinians.

“My friends, that is a real opportunity that we should not allow to be missed.”
