Defense Minister Barak: Settlements Question Linked to Wider Peace Initiative
[FOX News] Greta Van Susteren - Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told FOX News Tuesday: The question of a settlement freeze is "part of a much wider issue, whether together with the United States and our Palestinian and Arab neighbors, we can launch an original peace initiative to be led by the president of the United States. Within this context, many issues had to be addressed. One of them is the settlement issue. And we already said, Prime Minister Netanyahu said in his speech, we are not going to launch new settlements, we are not going to launch new projects or suburbs in the existing settlements. We are not going to expropriate land."
