Clinton: “Washington Opposes Security Council Move against “Israeli” Settlement Activities”

She stated that the U.S. Administration opposes "Israel's" settlement activities but added that both "Israel" and the United States must reach a settlement through negotiations and not through the United Nations or any other international body.

Clinton also doubted the efficiency of a UN action towards this matter. "We don't see action in the United Nations or any other forum as being helpful in bringing about that desired outcome," she said, before adding that the United States is "working to keep the focus where we think it needs to be, and that's not in New York."
