The US has shifted its position on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, no longer viewing them as inconsistent with international law.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the status of the West Bank was for Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate.
Israel welcomed the move - a reversal of the US stance under President Donald Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama.

They have long been a source of dispute between Israel and the international community, and the Palestinians.
