Today I recognized five American companies that embody the very best American values: hard work, creativity, and service. These companies reject the false choice between doing well for themselves and doing good for the world. They do both at the same time. state.gov/ace

The only road to lasting peace and security in the region is through two states for two peoples.

Even as we address this immediate crisis, we must redouble our collective efforts to build an enduring political solution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

At the heart of our efforts to save innocent lives in this conflict and in every conflict, for that matter, is our core belief that every civilian life is equally valuable.
