President Barack Obama has said Israel’s approval of 900 extra housing units at a settlement in East Jerusalem could lead to a “dangerous” situation.
Mr Obama told Fox News that additional settlement construction made it harder for Israel to make peace in the region and “embitters the Palestinians”.
The settlement of Gilo has been built on land Israel captured in 1967.
The Palestinians have refused to attend peace talks until Israel stops building settlements on occupied territory.
