‘Palestinians, Israelis don’t have faith in leaders’

“The Middle East matters, and it matters way beyond oil,” says Kerry.

“My friends, the potential of this region to be a driving financial center… is simply extraordinary,” he says.

He says the Mideast has “the world’s greatest tourist attractions,” and “has something there for anybody.”

He says neighboring countries are “eager to trade” with Middle East countries.

“Sadly, we have become so accustomed to problems in Middle East,” that we forget its “opportunity.”

He says all people are losing faith in leaders. “Palestinians don’t have belief, Israelis don’t have belief,” he says.

Kerry urges better leadership, and says governments must seize current opportunities without elaborating.
