Het is goed nieuws dat de VS zich flexibeler opstelt, hoewel het misschien beter was geweest als de VS had vastgehouden aan een bevriezing van de nederzettingen, maar daarvoor in ruil concessies had weten te verkrijgen van de...

A halt on settlement construction in the West Bank is not a pre-condition for the resumption of talks between Israel and the Palestinians, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday.
