Brussels : US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice criticized Friday Israeli plans to build new Jewish settlement in occupied east Jerusalem.
Rice told reporters that in her meeting with the Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni here Friday she made it “very clear that we are in a time where the goal is to build maximum confidence between the parties”.
“This doe not build confidence,” she added referring to the Homa Jewish settlements.
On Tuesday Israel said it had invited bids to build more than 300 new housing units in Har Homa, a settlement in occupied east Jerusalem.
Both Rice and Livni are in Brussels to take part in NATO foreign ministers meeting.
Livni is attending the NATO-Mediterranean Dialogue.
