Concern: William Hague warned that Israel's plans to build 3,000 more settlements would cast doubt on their commitment to peace with the Palestinians The Foreign Secretary William Hague today urged Israel to abandon plans to build 3,000 more settlement homes in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, warning that going ahead with the move would cast doubt on Israel's commitment to achieving peace with the Palestinians. The proposals to build the thousands of new homes were revealed yesterday, one day after the UN voted to recognise a Palestinian state. Mr Hague warned that going ahead with the plans would make a two-state solution 'difficult to achieve'.
