Kerry blames settlement construction for terror outbreak

A "massive increase in settlements" built by Israel in recent years has led to the "frustration" and "violence" now stoking its decades-old conflict with the Palestinians, US Secretary of State John Kerry said at Harvard University on Tuesday night. Kerry earlier condemned the latest terror wave against Israel. He said he would soon go the region to try and reengage the situation “away from this precipice,” lest the two-state solution “be stolen from everybody” if violence in the region were to spiral out of control.
