Reviewed Joe Biden for his tactics Israel
The American Vice President Joe Biden called on the Israeli government to show its commitment to the two-state solution of the Palestinian problem, stressing that the expansion of settlements, undermines the prospects for peace.
"The constant and systematic practice of the Government of Israel to expand settlements, the outposts legitimacy, but also to capture new territories weakens in my view, the prospect of the two-state solution," said Biden in a speech to the Israeli Lobby ( american Israel Public Affairs Committee - AIPAC).
At the same time, he stressed that does not agree with the view of the Government of Israel that settlement expansion is not interconnected with efforts to resolve the problem.
According to the US vice president, the course of events shows that promote one-state solution, which he characterized as "dangerous."
"There is in this period, the necessary political will among Israelis and Palestinians to move forward in conducting serious negotiations. This is dramatically disappointing, "said Biden.
Israel argues that Israel intends to keep under the control of large settlement blocks in the context of achieving a future agreement. For their part, Palestinians seeking an independent state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, fear the expansion of settlements would prevent the substance effectively define their state.
The Palestinian side also considers the expansion of the settlements program by Israel, as one of the most important causes of the collapse of negotiations under US mediation, 2014.
The negative environment that has been created around the future agreement has led a bloody upsurge in violence in the last five months, which Israel attaches to the leaders of the Palestinians, but also the influence of extremist Islamic organizations.
For their part, the Palestinians argue that the spate of violence triggered by the lack of vision and real hope for solving the problem.
