Netanyahu Celebrates US Settlement Decision in West Bank Associated Press ALON SHVUT, WEST BANK - Israel's prime minister traveled to the West Bank on Tuesday to celebrate the U.S.'s announcement that it does not consider Israeli settlements to violate international law. Benjamin Netanyahu called the Trump administration's declaration, which stepped back from four decades of U.S. policy and reversed the policies of President Barack Obama, a "huge achievement" that "fixed a historic wrong." "I think it is a great day for the state of Israel and an achievement that will remain for decades," he said.
