Israel to UN: Settlements Not the Principal Issue
[AP/Jerusalem Post] During a Friday UN Security Council meeting called at the request of Arab states to discuss Israeli settlement-building, Israeli UN Ambassador Gabriela Shalev noted that a stranger visiting the UN might suppose from the debate that Hamas violence, missile attacks fired over Israel's border, the buildup of Hizbullah forces in Lebanon, and Iran's nuclear ambitions posed no problem to the Mideast peace process. "While settlements remain a delicate issue, they are not the principal one," she said.
