I missed this yesterday:

Rebuffing Israel on a key Mideast negotiating issue, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that the Obama administration wants a complete halt in the growth of Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory, with no exceptions.

….The administration has communicated its position “very clearly, not only to the Israelis, but to the Palestinians and others, and we intend to press that point,” Clinton said in an appearance at the State Department with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.

I don’t have a lot to say about this, aside from the fact that it’s impressively tough rhetoric coming from an American administration.  I wonder if they can stick to it?
