Kerry says up to Trump administration how they will proceed

Kerry says “there is no viable alternative” to the two-state solution.

He says this is “a path the parties could take,” including realistic steps on the ground that would begin the process of separating into two states.

“We can only encourage them to take this path — we cannot walk down it for them,” he says.

Kerry says Palestinian economy has major potential with a “talented, hungry, eager to work young workforce.”

He says the incoming administration may take another approach or reject the two-state solution.

“That is for them to decide, that’s how we work. But we cannot, in good conscience… do nothing,” says the US secretary.

This is the time to stand up, he says.

He reflects on his last visit to the Jewish state, for Shimon Peres’s funeral.

Kerry says Shimon Peres was a “beautiful man” and says he was “proud to call him my friend.”
