Rice rebukes Israel for divisive building plans


U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tells USA TODAY reporters Tuesday that she admonished Israel's plans to expand a settlement in East Jerusalem, where most of the city's Arabs live.

"The Israeli action "undermines confidence" needed to revive dormant peace talks, she said at an hour-long session with USA TODAY reporters and editors. She issued an "admonition" that both sides had an "obligation to be very careful about activities that undermine confidence.""
