JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel will not bow to pressure from Washington to halt settlement activity in the West Bank even for a temporary period, a minister from the governing Likud party said on Sunday. “The prime minister made it clear in our meeting that there are no understandings and no commitments on the issue of a freeze of construction in the West Bank, not even a temporary one,” Yuli Edelstein told AFP. “We must not reach such a situation,” the minister for information and diaspora affairs from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party added ahead of a weekly cabinet meeting.
