Palestinians reacted with concern over the Sunday comments by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton supported Israel's position calling for the resumption of negotiations without stopping settlement.

presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina told AFP that "the U.S. administration backtracked on their promise and failed to meet their obligations, especially as stated in the letter of President Barack Obama at the University of Cairo when he demanded a complete halt to settlement." He also added "The Palestinian side now facing extreme right-wing Israeli government and have influence in the United States more than its influence inside Israel."

By the way there are an estimated 300 thousand Israeli settlers in West Bank settlements and about 200 thousand in East Jerusalem, which Israel captured and annexed in 1967, but the international community has never been accepted annexation and settlement is illegal

Israel has tested the US to see how firm its resolve is. Earlier in the year Obama was adamant that all construction had to stop but in September the tune was changed and now Clinton praises Israel after Israel thumbed its nose at US demands and chides Abbas with making the same demand as the US made earlier! It seems as if the peace process is going nowhere but that is hardly new news.
