During an interview with Israel’s Channel 2 News, President Obama’s deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, discussed the United Nations resolution condemning Israeli settlements. When anchor Yanit Levi asked Rhodes if this was an “ambush,” he replied:
“…it’s not an ambush when President Obama and Secretary Kerry have been saying in hundreds of conversations and in public comments that Israeli settlement activity was pushing into the West Bank in a way that was making the two-state solution unachievable over time–and that if that activity continued, that we could see further international steps against Israeli settlement activity.
