/…

"King Abdullah and I also discussed the critical importance of achieving a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is in the interests of the parties, the region and the international community. We welcomed the concerted efforts of Secretary of State Kerry to revitalise the Middle East Peace Process. We agreed that it was vital that both Israeli and Palestinian leaders demonstrated courage and leadership in exploiting the valuable opportunity offered by the current US efforts. We also agreed that, if this chance were missed, the long-term consequences for both Israelis and Palestinians would be disastrous."
