US official warns against Judea and Samaria construction

A US official on Friday warned that Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria would inflame Israeli-Palestinian Arab tensions while impeding efforts to achieve a two-state solution, Haaretz reports.

“We believe it is critical for Israel and the Palestinian Authority to refrain from unilateral steps that exacerbate tensions and fundamentally undercut efforts to advance a negotiated two-state solution,” the official was quoted as having said.
