Question for PBS's News Hour Insider Forum.

Here's a question I posted at PBS's News Hour Insider Forum. The topic was Obama's Foreign Policy Challenges.

What did candidate Obama say about what the US government could or should do to block further expansion and thickening of settlements by Israelis in the occupied West Bank? To what extent does he agree with those who argue that continued settlement activity only exacerbates the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? How likely is it that an Obama Administration will act decisively on the settlement question?
