On April 7-9, 2013, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is traveling to Jerusalem and Ramallah. In Jerusalem, he will meet with Israeli leaders, and in Ramallah, he will meet with the Palestinian leadership. These meetings are to follow up on last month’s discussions as we continue to assess how best we can support the parties in getting back to the table and in having dialogue leading to peace. We remain committed to working with the parties to achieve a lasting peace through direct negotiations.
