US ‘troubled’ by Israeli settlement expansion plans in West Bank – BBC News
The Israeli government has advanced plans for some 5,700 new homes in the occupied West Bank.
The announcement comes despite US pressure to stop settlement expansion, which it sees as an obstacle to peace with the Palestinians.
A US spokesperson said Washington was “deeply troubled” by the development.
Four Israeli settlers were shot dead by Palestinians last week, prompting days of settler violence.
Violence between Palestinians and Israelis has flared since Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was re-elected last year.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Considering the average settler has 5 kids (just like their Arab neighbours mind you) home expansion is necessary to keep up with natural population growth. What do you want to do, forcibly sterilise the population?

Growing up i always look up to wow USA is powerful but nope. Historians try to make america is the centre of map when its not. Every time white house announce they condemn or say worry … are all lies. USA is never for their own people either,,, its only interest is its political standing….. Shocked from bush era to now, westbank map changed on google again, and again, and to reveal settlers have build malls houses school…… at the cost of palestinians…its not fair. I'm all about equality and diversity, and White House is nothing close to that.

The US would never actually try to stop these evil settlers since America did the same thing to us when they stole our land.
But just like us indigenous people the palestinians WILL fight back to defend their home from these monsters.

Dear Jb, do not rhetoric talk like a parrot. Ask bo's advise when you feel pressured by outlandish dumb heads in disguise of so called allies.
This era's fact:
Neither cevert agents of Saudis (murderers in the name of religion and it's business) nor Israelis (greedy, coward assassinators for wealth) should have any access to American and Canadian political areas via senator, congressmen etc. etc.
They should be identified by their religious affiliations and hidden dogmas if true prosperity is desired and supported to prevail in the North American Lands in the awakened "New globally interconnected generation".

Israel has been fought over since 1568 BC when Moses took the 40 years route for a 2 week journey.
3,591 years later and the way ahead for the Jews is still led by those with NO sense of direction.
