Kerry Defends Focus on Israeli Security
(Washington Post) Anne Gearan - Israel cannot make peace with the Palestinians so long as it fears that a free Palestine next door would be a base for terrorism or attacks on Israel, Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday. "The Israelis, rightfully, will not withdraw unless they know that the West Bank will not become a new Gaza," he said, referring to the regular rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza since Israel withdrew forces in 2005. "Nobody can blame any leader of Israel for being concerned about that reality," Kerry said.
