And ultimately, after this intensive effort across the government, we got to where everyone wanted to be, which was to end the violence,\u201d he said in an interview with\u00a0<em>CNN<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut now, as the president said, I think it\u2019s incumbent upon all of us to try to make the turn to start to build something more positive, and what that means at heart is that Palestinians and Israelis alike have to know in their day in and day out lives equal measures of opportunity, of security, of dignity,\u201d Blinken said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the time is not right for an immediate resumption in negotiations between the two sides but that steps could be taken \u2014 mainly humanitarian initiatives &#8212; to repair damage from Israeli air strikes in Gaza, which caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and deaths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re in a place where getting to some kind of a negotiation for what ultimately, I think, has to be the result, which is a two-state solution, is the first order of business,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to start building back in concrete ways and offering some genuine hope, prospects, opportunity in the lives of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"template__footer  clearfix    modifier--open        px-1  \">\n<div class=\"w-full sm:w-2\/3 mx-auto
