Hillary Clinton urged Israel to support Palestinian efforts in West Bank to strengthen institutions and urged Palestinians to promote peace and fight corruption. The US has been promoting proximity talks which were knocked off course when Israel approved plan to build 1,600 new homes in an East Jerusalem settlement; however these settlements are illegal under international law.
