Kerry to lay out plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace process

Before President Obama leaves office, Secretary of State John Kerry allegedly plans to lay out “a comprehensive vision” for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

“I wouldn’t describe it as new initiatives, I think what Secretary Kerry will be doing is he will give a speech in which he lays out a comprehensive vision for how he sees the conflict being resolved,” deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes told Israel’s Channel 2, as first reported by Bloomberg.

Rhodes was addressing whether or not the United States had additional initiatives planned following its choice — slammed by President-elect Donald Trump — to abstain from the U.N. Security Council vote last week that formally condemned Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
