Stavolta è intervenuto direttamente Barack Obama, e non Hillary Clinton, sulla questione delle colonie in crescita tra Cisgiordania e Gerusalemme est.
US President Barack Obama criticized on Wednesday Israel’s plans to expand settlements on occupied Palestinian land in a rare personal pronouncement on the subject. “I think that additional settlement building does not contribute to Israel’s security, I think it makes it harder for them to make peace with their neighbors,” Obama told Fox News, according to Reuters.
“I think it embitters the Palestinians in a way that could end up being very dangerous.”
Israel has rejected US and international critique of its plans to build 900 new houses in the settlement of Gilo, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, abutting Bethlehem.
