Israel: U.S. Statement on Settlements Is No Trump U-Turn

(Times of Israel) Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon told Israel Radio on Friday that the statement from the Trump White House on the construction of new Israeli settlements did not reflect a policy shift. "I wouldn't call it a U-turn, the statement is very clear. The meaning is: Wait until the meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who arrives in Washington in less than two weeks for a meeting with President Trump, and then set policy," Danon said. "We will not be in full agreement with the United States on everything over the next four years, but there is communication and messages are being passed."
