Egypt circulated a draft U.N. resolution Wednesday night that demands a halt to Israeli settlement activities in Palestinian territory and declares that all existing settlements “have no legal validity” and are “a flagrant violation” of international law.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Obama administration on Thursday to veto a U.N. Security Council draft resolution calling for an immediate halt to settlement building on occupied land that Palestinians want for a state.

During a visit to the West Bank, Becky Norton Dunlop, a senior official in President-elect Donald Trump’s team, said she understood Israelis who wanted to expand in the entire state of Israel, urged international community to note what is really happening in area.

In a later Tweet, Kirby sought to clarify his language, saying he “intended to repeat US position [regarding] illegitimacy of settlements.”

The Israeli government will spend more than $35 million to resettle and compensate residents of Amona, the West Bank outpost slated for demolition this week, as part of a deal to peacefully relocate to other parts of the occupied West Bank, according to Israeli media reports.

“The Israeli government’s response in the Amona settlement dispute shows that the settlers have won, setting a clear path for future settlement battles,” writes Shlomi Eldar.

“We want to work with the Israeli Left to build a future based on equality and justice for all. But not at any cost,” writes Samah Salaime.
