U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians are making progress and that “we are closer than we have been in years” to peace.

“There is no doubt in my mind -- we can reach an agreement that will support the peaceful and promising Palestine that the Palestinian people deserve, alongside a prosperous and more secure Israel,” Kerry said at Israel’s international airport after winding up two days of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
