Clinton: Halt on settlement construction not a pre-condition
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.
Speaking at a joint press conference ahead of her meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Clinton commented on Iran's nuclear issue, saying that "we will not wait forever, our patients is limited. We are waiting for Iran's response –receiving an offer will serve as a good first step." (Roni Sofer)
