Hillary Clinton's Speech At 2010 AIPAC Policy Conference

What the media took away from the speech, as seen by Reuters reporting, is continued criticism of Israel as U.S. "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday that indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinians should be serious and substantive and that new Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank were jeopardizing progress."

"New construction in East Jerusalem or the West Bank undermines mutual trust and endangers the proximity talks that are the first step toward the full negotiations that both sides want and need," Clinton said in a speech to AIPAC, an influential pro-Israel lobby group.

"It exposes daylight between Israel and the United States that others in the region could hope to exploit. And it undermines America's unique ability to play a role -- an essential role, I might add -- in the peace process," she said.
