CAIRO (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry called on Sunday for a renewed commitment to
achieving Middle East peace, saying a lasting deal between Israel, the
Palestinians and all their neighbors could be achieved.
"Out of this conference must come not just money but a
renewed commitment from everybody to work for peace that meets the
aspirations of all, for Israelis, for Palestinians for all people of
this region. And I promise you the full commitment of president Obama,
myself and the United States to try to do that," Kerry told a Gaza
reconstruction conference in Cairo.
"Everything else will be a band aid fix, not a long-term
solution... Everything else will be the prisoner of impatience and that
has brought us to this unacceptable and unstable status quo."
The latest round of U.S.-brokered peace talks foundered in
April over Israeli objections to a Palestinian political unity pact
including the Islamist Hamas movement and Palestinian objections to
unremitting Israeli settlement growth.
