Prime Minister Netanyahu has reportedly tried to curb settlement construction in the West Bank, in the hopes of helping the US revive peace talks with the Palestinians. Defense Minister Ya’alon said Israel will not allow any transfer of “sophisticated weapons” to Hezbollah. Israel is looking to renew contact with the UN Human Rights Council, after severing ties last year.
