But:
Israel rebuffs Hillary Clinton’s call for halt in West Bank settlements

From that link:
‘Israel’s new right-wing government was set for its first stand-off with the Obama Administration today, after it openly rebuffed a call from Washington to a total freeze on all Jewish settlements in the West Bank.’

And:
‘A spokesman for Mr Netanyahu – who clashed with then president Bill Clinton when he was prime minister in the late 1990s – said that permission would be given to continue construction in existing settlements, some of which are sprawling towns built in the four decades that Israel has occupied the West Bank.
“Normal life in those communities must be allowed to continue,” said spokesman Mark Regev.’

Yeah, saw that. Let’s hope it will continue but I don’t hold out much hope for Netanyahu. He bent over for Clinton so I’d expect him to do the same here.
