Peace. secretary of state john kerry delivering a blunt message to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> the israeli prime minister publicly supports a two-state solution, but his current coalition is the most right-wing in israeli history with an agenda driven by the most extreme elements. >> pushing back following washingtons decision not to veto the united nations vote condemning israeli settlements in jerusalem and the west bank. >> on this point i want to be very clear. no american ...

Settlements? >> well, jake, were working on those issues too. well be dealing with the russian hacking. were dealing with climate change on a regular basis. i think its a false argument to say that, because there are other issues, we shouldnt focus on this one. the fact of the matter is we are focused on this one because the current trends on the ground, particularly the current israeli settlement activity, is making a two-state solution potentially impossible and creating a reality where essent...
