President Barack Obama is warning that “unfettered support” for Israel’s settlement policies will over time lead to a “worsening situation” between Israelis and Palestinians.

Obama spoke to the Israeli TV program “Uvda” in an interview broadcast Tuesday, as he prepares to hand off to President-elect Donald Trump, who has indicated he will be more accepting of Israel’s expansion of settlements. Trump’s pick for ambassador to Israel is an outspoken settlement supporter.
