US Secretary of State John Kerry, in his bid for an Israeli-Palestinian settlement, operated as if conflict resolution could be achieved through non-coercive solutions, deriving from the good will of the relevant parties. According to this plainly naive approach, the negotiation process operates according to its own embedded logic, independent of considerations of power, coercion, and leverage.
美国国务卿约翰·克里在寻求以巴和解过程中的所作所为就好像各方可以凭借良好意愿，通过非强制性的解决方案来化解冲突。上述明显幼稚的做法认为谈判过程的运行自有其逻辑，而与力量、胁迫和各种手段无关。
