Trick question answer
The Israeli response to President Obama and Secretary Clinton:
"I want to make it clear that the current Israeli government will not accept in any way the freezing of legal settlement activity in Judea and Samaria [West Bank]," Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz told Army Radio.Which should mean that they accept the freezing of settlement activity, since all settlement activity is illegal.
Well, it's legal under Israeli law. It just happens to be illegal under international law, which Israel doesn't show any evidence of acknowledging.
