Israel: Settlement Freeze Is Temporary
(Financial Times-UK) Vita Bekker - Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, said on Sunday that construction will resume in Jewish settlements in the West Bank when a ten-month building limit is over even if stalled peace talks with the Palestinians are renewed. "This suspension is for its stated timeframe and not beyond it. This is a one-time and temporary decision, not a freeze of unlimited and infinite duration," Netanyahu said.
