US Seeks 'Clarification' On Israeli Building Plan

(03-24) 08:56 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --

The White House says it's seeking "clarification" on Israel's plans to build 20 new apartments in east Jerusalem.

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor says the White House continues to believe that Israeli building in Jerusalem is destructive to the Mideast peace process. He says the U.S. is urging both the Israelis and Palestinians to refrain from acts could undermine trust as the Obama administration looks to jump-start the stalled peace process.

An aide to Netanyahu says the prime minister was caught off guard by the Wednesday's announcement of the apartment projects.

1. And what would the State Department's response be if Israel were to "clarify" by

declaring "We're building new residences in East Jerusalem, in an Arab zone, for only Israeli citizens who also happen to be Jewish to live in. And it's none of your business."
