White House spokesman Sean Spicer said at a daily briefing that US President Donald Trump will continue discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Israeli settlement activity.
Israeli authorities announced on Friday that Israel intended to build 15,000 new settlement houses in East Jerusalem despite Trump's earlier call for holding back new settlement activities for a possible new effort to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
