Israel will continue to allow some construction in West Bank settlements despite US calls for a freeze on its work, a government spokesman says.
Mark Regev said the fate of the settlements should be decided in peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
His remarks appear to be a rebuff to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said all such activity should cease.

"Don't worry about American pressure, we the Jewish people control America."
-- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, October 2001. According to Israel Radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael
"The Israelis control the policy in the congress and the senate."
-- Senator Fullbright, Chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee: 10/07/1973 on CBS' "Face the Nation".
"I am aware how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign policy [in the Middle East] not approved by the Jews..... terrific control the Jews have over the news media and the barrage the Jews have built up on congressmen .... I am very much concerned over the fact that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and making it almost impossible to get congress to do anything they don't approve of. The Israeli embassy is practically dictating to the congress through influential Jewish people in the country"
-- Sec. of State John Foster Dulles quoted on p.99 of Fallen Pillars by Donald Neff
