Israel is moving forward with a major plan for increased settlements in the West Bank.
An estimated 5,700 new settlement homes, all at various levels of planning, were approved Monday by the government of Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the Associated Press.
“The US is deeply troubled” by the move, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, according to the Jerusalem Post.
“The US opposes such unilateral actions that make a two-state solution more difficult to achieve and are an obstacle to peace,” he said.
