Israel Proposes Joint U.S.-Israeli Team Monitor Settlements
[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - A senior Israeli official said on Saturday night that Israel will continue to build in the larger settlement blocs, in communities adjacent to the security fence and in the neighborhoods on Jerusalem's outskirts. Another official sought to stress that Israel was "willing to work towards a solution, one that culminates in the creation of a Palestinian state with limited authorities" pertaining to security issues. Israel has offered the Americans to form a joint body that would be tasked with overseeing construction in the settlements to ensure that the building does not go beyond the existing limits of any given community, and that no new settlements are being built.
