German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday called on Israel to end settlement
construction, saying it jeopardized efforts toward a two-state solution.

"I think it is now important to get commitments from all sides and that includes the issue of settlement building," Merkel said in a speech to the Bundestag lower house of parliament. "I am convinced that there must be a stop to this. Otherwise we will not come to the two-state solution that is urgently needed."
