Washington - The U.S. will stop pushing Israel to freeze settlement construction in the West Bank as a condition for restarting direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian
Authority. The shift in U.S. policy came almost a month after Netanyahu presented his Cabinet with the terms of a U.S. proposal for a 90-day moratorium on settlement building in the West Bank. In exchange, the U.S. had offered Israel 20 additional F-35 fighter jets and said it would oppose any attempt by international bodies to impose a peace deal.
