Disagreements with U.S. over Terms of Settlement Freeze Stalls Cabinet Vote
(Ha'aretz) Jonathan Lis and Barak Ravid - Disagreements with the U.S. are delaying Israel's inner cabinet from voting on a three-month moratorium on new construction in settlements. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu's envoy for the peace process, Yitzhak Molho, conducted marathon talks with senior advisers to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton over the text of the deal. Most of the disagreement concerns the American desire to remain vague over whether it will seek another freeze in three months' time.
