Israel and the Settlement Freeze

If Israel really has the intention of a two state solution, then clearly the continuation of settlement buildings in the West Bank would be a contradiction. For how do you separate the Palestinians from the Jews when you are integrating them further. Moreover the legality of  settlements by an occupying power is contentious. Our Lord , Jesus Christ, a jew, said : "To whom much is given, much is expected." .God has blessed the nation of Israel and therefore much is expected. Israel can afford to extend the moratorium on settlements constructions for another 10 months without losing a sleep. Israel can and ought to make this sacrifice in order to keep the Middle East peace talk alive and hopeful.
