Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the US will not take the same action as the UK over Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, but that he has no comment beyond that for now.
Speaking to reporters, Rubio said the US does “not want to see some uptick in violence, or an uptick in conflict or tensions in the West Bank at a very tenuous time for the region”.
