"We should enter immediately into negotiations without preconditions. That's been my view for the last four years, and I hope it becomes the Palestinian view," said PM Netanyahu. "If Secretary Kerry, whose efforts we support, were to pitch a tent halfway between here and Ramallah," continued Netanyahu, "I'm in the tent. And I'm committed to stay in the tent and negotiate for as long as it takes to work out a solution of peace and security between us and the Palestinians." Secretary Kerry is scheduled to travel to Amman and Jerusalem to hold meetings with Jordanian, Israeli, and Palestinian Authority officials as part of his efforts in advancing Middle East peace June 27-29. "Both peoples, both nations, deserve a nation-state of their own," said Netanayhu. Photo: Archive, Embassy of Israel​
