Blinken addresses US-Israel relations and Israeli settlements at AIPAC summit.
TL;DR
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has pledged continued US commitment to Israel's security and a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, but said the expansion of Jewish settlements would be an obstacle to peace. Blinken also said that moves toward annexation of the Israeli-occupied West Bank or that disrupt the status quo at holy sites would hurt the prospects for a two-state solution.
