President Barack Obama spoke to Fox News on Wednesday and called Israel's decision to expand settlements in East Jerusalem "dangerous".

Obama said:
The situation in the Middle East is very difficult, and I've said repeatedly and I'll say again, Israel's security is a vital national interest to the United States, and we will make sure they are secure.

I think that additional settlement building does not contribute to Israel's security. I think it makes it harder for them to make peace with their neighbors. I think it embitters the Palestinians in a way that could end up being very dangerous.
