Pompeo: New Policy on Settlements Will Help Resolve Conflict
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Israel Hayom in an interview on Wednesday: "We think the decision that was made that permits the possibility of legal settlements, that they are not illegal per se, is both the correct one and the one that is in the best interest of the security situation in Israel as well as the situation between Israel and the Palestinian people....What is inconsistent is those who believe that international law requires that every settlement is illegal just by the nature of it being a settlement." "We think this will create space for a political resolution for the challenges that have vexed the region for so long. We think there is not going to be some court ruling, some international court decision, some legal analysis to get this result, but rather a political resolution of the situation."
