“We have to stop incitement, we have to stop the violence. And I think it’s critical. Obviously, this conversation that you and I will have is very important to settle on the steps that will be taken that take us beyond the condemnation and beyond the rhetoric. It is absolutely critical to end all incitement and all violence, and to find a road forward to build the possibility that is not there today for a larger process.

So we have to go steps. But today we, you and I, can really – we can build that process. We have been at this, we know each other well. I believe we have the ability to make a difference, and that’s what I came here to do. And I hope, in this conversation, we can make progress.

I talked with King Abdullah yesterday. I have talked with President Abbas. I believe people want this to de-escalate. So let’s go to work, and see what we can do.” (US Secretary of State John Kerry speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 22/10/2015)
