[T]he reason we remain committed to achieving a two-state solution is that we see no alternative that would achieve Israelis’ and Palestinians’ legitimate goals, and that would protect our own interests. Simply put, as Secretary [of State John] Kerry said on Sunday, “there is no one-state alternative.”

There is no other solution “that is viable or that would preserve Israel’s status as a Jewish state and a democracy.” For all the understandable doubts harbored by Israelis and Palestinians, there is no alternative, and we believe it can be done. So we are committed to keeping that hope alive.
