IPF Applauds Clinton: Stop Settlement Growth

May 28, 2009

Israel Policy Forum applauds Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's reiteration yesterday that President Obama "wants to see a stop to settlements -- not some settlements, not outposts, not natural-growth exceptions."

Ensuring that both sides meet their respective obligations is a critical leadership role of the United States. Secretary Clinton's clear statement yesterday underscores the importance of the settlement issue, and is yet another welcome demonstration of leadership by the Obama administration.
