According to a high - ranking Israeli official, today America opposed Israel's building settlements on occupied land needed by the Palestinians.

In response to a question about whether the United States side raised the issue during the visit of Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who met with United States Secretary of State Anthony Plinkin and other senior officials in Washington, the Israeli official explained, "Yes, the American side raised this issue."

The administration of Joe Biden, the President of the United States, stressed that it opposed the expansion of Jewish settlements, while most States considered such settlements illegal while Israel argued.

It should be noted that this month, a senior Biden official said that Israel knows the point of view of the administration regarding the need to cease actions that could be considered "provocative" and undermine efforts to achieve a two-State solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
