Elizabeth Warren, US Dem. Sen., said that she may link suspending military and security aids to Israel to stop building Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank of Jordan River.
She added that Israel’s Prime Minister insists on intensifying building of settlements to abort two-state solution.
It is worth to mention that most of the governments across the world support that solution to solve the chronic complicated conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Sen. Warren is one of the prominent Democratic hopefuls who could run the next year presidential election of behalf of that party.
Washington’s policy has supported that solution since days of former President George W. Bush.
Warren assured that if Israel refuses to comply with those rules such as freezing building of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the coming US administration will take another steps against Tel Aviv.
"Right now, Netanyahu says he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements, [but] that does not move us in the direction of a two-state solution," Warren responded when asked what her stance was on aid and settlement-building.
"It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table," she said, before repeating: "Everything is on the table."
The Trump administration has largely backed away from criticism of Israeli settlements. President Trump signed an executive order recognizing a portion of the Golan Heights as Israeli territory following the construction of settlements in the area later named after the president.
Warren and some Democrats, including fellow 2020 primary contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), have criticized Israel's settlement construction efforts as well as the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinian protesters.
"The killing of Palestinian demonstrators by Israeli forces in Gaza is tragic. It is the right of all people to protest for a better future without a violent response," Sanders tweeted last year after more than a dozen protesters were killed by Israeli security forces.

"Meanwhile, the situation in Gaza remains a humanitarian disaster. The U.S. must play a more positive role in ending the Gaza blockade and helping Palestinians and Israelis build a future that works for all," he added
