Something that the prime minister presumably was not that excited about when he said to the prime minister, as far as israeli settlements on the west bank are concerned, hold back. i d like to see israel hold back. he then went on to say i think we re going to make a deal but he was pretty precise in telling the prime minister he s not very enthusiastic about israel going ahead and building more settlements. reporter: especially after we saw the few announcements after the election by donald trump, more than 5,600 settlements approved by netanyahu. that prompted president trump to say settlement expansion is unhelpful to peace. so making it clear here, hold off on this a little bit. you re right, that s not what netanyahu wanted to hear. when he was asked about that, he said we ll come to some agreement. it will be interesting to see if they come to some agreement, ....
