President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a joint press conference at 12 p.m. Eastern time.

A statement from the Israeli Defence Ministry, which administers lands Israel captured in a 1967 war, said the decision was meant to fulfill demand for housing and "return to life as usual".

Netanyahu has been harshly critical of the deal that six world powers including the United States under president Barack Obama struck with Iran to curb its nuclear program in return for an end to multilateral sanctions.

The Israeli prime minister is suspected of receiving gifts from businessmen.

May's spokesman said that Israel had coped for too long with the threat of terrorism and that focusing only on the settlements was not the best way to achieve peace between Jew and Arab.

Israel is still fuming over the resolution approved last Friday by the United Nations Security Council that demands an end to settlement activity.

Netanyahu is already maneuvering to mine deep-seated feelings among many Israelis that their country and its policies are overly criticized.

"We're prepared to take in wounded women and children, and also men if they are not combatants..."

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu must seize this moment in order to enhance Israel's security and strategic interests.
