American Jews for a Just Peace strongly opposes yesterday's statement by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton congratulating Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on his alleged agreement to limit settlement expansion. This is a direct change in the United States' call for a total freeze of all Israeli settlement activity, including "natural growth," as expressed in President Obama's Cairo speech on June 4, 2009. All such settlement building is in direct and undeniable violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. AJJP will continue to press for a just and sustainable resolution of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people, and for full Israeli compliance with international law.
