US urges Palestinians ‘not to react adversely’ to Israel’s approval of 1,200 new homes
US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged Palestinians "not to react adversely" to Israel's approval of 1,200 new homes in “illegitimate” settlements just days before peace talks resume. Kerry added, however, that Sunday's move was “to some degree expected.” Palestinian-Israeli negotiators should get “to the table quickly,” the BBC quoted him as saying. Palestinian negotiators have accused Israel of trying to sabotage the talks, a charge Israel rejects. Separately, Israel published the names of 26 long-term Palestinian prisoners who will be freed Tuesday.
