Washington, Rabi'I 29, 1438, Dec 28, 2016, SPA -- US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the United States allowed a UN resolution on Israeli settlements to pass last week in an effort to preserve the two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinian Territories, reported the dpa. "The United States did in fact vote in accordance with our values," Kerry said. The US cannot be true to its values "if we allow a viable two-state solution to be destroyed before our own eyes." dpa grj sdl --SPA 19:56 LOCAL TIME 16:56 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w300366
