White House downplays Netanyahu’s vow to continue settlement buidling
A senior White House official plays down Netanyahu’s vow to never uproot any West Bank settlements.
“It is no secret what each side’s position is on this issue,” the official says, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. “Our focus is on continuing our conversations with both parties and regional leaders to work toward facilitating a deal that factors in all substantive issues.”
Netanyahu’s comments yesterday come days after a White House envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt were in the region trying to restart peace talks with the Palestinians.
