Greenblatt to EU Envoys: Settlements Are Not the Obstacle
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Settlements are not the issue preventing an Israeli-Palestinian deal, U.S. Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt told EU ambassadors in Israel on Tuesday. Greenblatt said it is necessary to look at what construction has actually taken place, rather than at various announcements in the media. He said there is not that much actual building taking place; that where it is taking place is contiguous to existing settlements; and that Israel has taken a sensible approach on the matter.
