<p style="font-size:10pt;">OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; The  Israeli occupation authority stressed that “east Jerusalem” will not be  included in any future settlement freeze.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israeli officials said that the US  administration has agreed to exclude east Jerusalem from the US proposed  90-day freeze on settlement building and that no other freeze on  settlement building in the West Bank will be asked for by the US after  the 90-day freeze is over.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Mark Regev, spokesman for the Israeli  Prime Minister, said that any future moratorium on settlement building  will no cover Jerusalem adding that Israel differentiates between the  West Bank and east Jerusalem and that the previous settlement freeze was  not applied to Jerusalem, likewise any future freeze will not apply to  Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The right wing Shas party demanded that  the US provides written guarantees. The party was promised by the war  minister Ehud Barak, that if they refrained from voting on the US  proposals, he would approve the building of hundreds of settlement units  in West Bank settlements immediately after the end of the freeze.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Reuters reported Friday  that the United  States is prepared to offer Israel written security guarantees if it  would help to restart stalled Middle East peace talks.</p>
