Netanyahu in US: Jerusalem not a settlement

Declaring "Jerusalem is not a settlement," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu struck a defiant note on Monday after new US criticism of Jewish home construction in disputed territory in and around the city.

 

His speech in Washington to AIPAC contrasted sharply with an address Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made at the same forum hours earlier. "The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 years ago and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It's our capital," Netanyahu said. (Reuters)
