Israeli settlement
The State Department announced that goods produced in the settlements, which are considered illegal under international law, can be labeled as "Made in Israel."
The president's plan calls for the creation of a Palestinian state but leaves sizable chunks of the occupied West Bank in Israeli hands.
The secretary of state said the U.S. no longer considers the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be a violation of international law.
The policy shift is apparently aimed at rallying Netanyahu's nationalist base in the final stretch of the tight Israeli Prime Minister race.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Israeli troops have killed 41 Palestinians and wounded more than 5,000 others since the protests began on March 30.
Trump said Palestinians snubbed the United States by not meeting Vice President Mike Pence during a recent visit.
Critics question how Jared Kushner can profit from such a transaction and still function as an independent peacekeeper representing America.
The move would make it harder for Israel to cede control over parts of Jerusalem in any peace deal with the Palestinians.
