British FM: Israeli settlements 'obstacle' to Mideast peace
None
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said in Jordan on Tuesday that Israeli settlements remain an "obstacle to peace" between the Palestinians and Israel.
"Settlements are illegal in our view and an obstacle to peace settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem," Miliband told a news conference after talks with King Abdullah II. "The settlements challenge the heart of... a Palestinian state." (AFP)
