Kerry says UN vote was about long-term peace

Kerry says it will be up to Israel to decide whether Netanyahu’s “unusually heated attacks” on the administration were worth it.

“Israelis are rightfully concerned that there is not a new terrorist haven right next to them,” he says. And Israel is rightfully concerned about non-recognition of Israel’s right to exist.

But the resolution was not about that, he says.

“This vote, I can’t emphasize enough,” was not about a peace deal, “it was about how we make peace with the Palestinians in the future,” to “preserve the possibility to do so.”
