“At the end of the day, we want to work with this democratically-elected government. As Netanyahu said many times, he is very much in charge, and he has his hands on the wheel, and we will work with him to make sure that we keep that car on the road,” Nides told Ynet.

The United States still wants to “keep the vision of a two-state solution alive, which means we focus on taking care of the Palestinian people without compromising the security of Israel,” said Nides.

“Our position is very clear, we don’t support legalizing any outposts or settlement growth, which will cause us to lose the two-state solution,” he said. “We have been very clear. We want to keep things calm; that’s our goal, we got Israel’s back, and we will work with this government to make sure that occurs,” he added.
