Clinton: Israel settlement expansion "sets back" peace bid

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized on Friday in a speech attended by top Israeli officials Israel's decision to build 3,000 settlements in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

"In light of today's announcement, let me reiterate that this administration -- like previous administrations -- has been very clear with Israel that these activities set back the cause of a negotiated peace," Clinton said.

Clinton was speaking at a forum in Washington hosted by the Saban Centre for Middle East Policy. Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Defence Minister Ehud Barak were in the audience when she made her remarks.
