U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called the Israeli building of 1,100 new housing units in East Jerusalem "counterproductive." According to Clinton the U.S. is hoping neither the Israelis or Palestinians will do anything that the other would consider provocative so that peace talks can get back underway.
The United States would be wise to be careful in the position it takes regarding this issue. All of Jerusalem was promised to Israel by God, not just parts of it. If they desire to build, then they have that right. Pressuring Israel to halt construction, with one eye looking down the road at the possibility of a Palestinian state will not be viewed favorably by God.
