U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned on Friday he was “disappointed” by an Israeli announcement that it plans to construct 3,000 new housing items in settlements within the occupied West Bank.

Blinken mentioned throughout a news convention in Buenos Aires that it was long-standing U.S. coverage that new settlements are counterproductive to reaching an everlasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
