Israel must stop settlements: Biden

Published: Tuesday May 5, 2009

US Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday called on Israel to work toward a two-state solution by ending Jewish settlements in the West Bank and allowing Palestinians freedom of movement.

Biden told a pro-Israel lobby that "Israel has to work toward a two-state solution. You're not going to like my saying this but not build more settlements, dismantle existing outposts and allow Palestinians freedom of movement."
