I am profoundly disappointed. Only through direct negotiations can the Israelis and Palestinians resolve their complicated differences. “Today's resolution will not further the cause of peace. In fact it will only harden both sides and make direct negotiations all the more difficult to ever resume. I will redouble my efforts to defend Israel in international bodies and bring the parties back to the table.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
