Clinton: U.S. Will Push for Direct Talks
The United States will continue to push towards direct peace talks, as a Palestinian state achieved through negotiation is inevitable, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday.
In her speech before Brookings Institution’s Saban Center for Middle East Policy’s seventh annual forum in Washington, Clinton detailed the Obama administration’s plans to move the Middle East peace process forward in the wake of the collapse of direct peace talks.
Clinton said that the United States is serious about pushing forward a peace agreement and laying the foundations for a future Palestinian state.
