I’m not going to parse his words. As you know, there are difficult issues with —
But he —
— let me finish, Said — with strong emotional feelings when it relates to these tough choices that need to be made around the peace process. …
But you agree Mr. Gordon —
I think we need to move on to other questions.
— Mr. Gordon speaks on behalf of the Administration?
Samir, go ahead. ” Daily Press Briefing – July 9, 2014
