As if any further evidence is needed that the so-called "road map" is dead, Israel intends to pour money into existing west bank settlements, in violation of both the "road map" and international law. Not a peep from the U.S. I guess the "road map" was nothing more than a cul-de-sac.
"Israel will invest tens of millions of dollars in West Bank settlements even as it pulls out of the Gaza Strip and a few other settlements, Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday.
His proposal would contradict the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which requires Israel to freeze settlement construction."
