Kerry says US could not ‘in good conscience’ block UN vote

Kerry begins his speech,

He says the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “animated foreign policy.”

“President Obama has been deeply committed to Israel and its security,” he says.

He says he “worked on it intensively… for one simple reason: because the two-state solution is the only way to achieve a just, lasting peace.”

He says it’s the only way to ensure Israel and the Palestinians’ future.

That “future is now in jeopardy,” he says.

He says the US “could not, in good conscience stand in the way of a UN resolution,” and says he’ll explain why.
