US opposes Netanyahu's unilateral steps

US State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf said on Friday that the US government would like to resume negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.

Harf also said the US expected both sides to take steps to make that possible.

The spokeswoman was commenting on statements made by the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with Bloomberg's Jeffrey Goldberg published Thursday in which he said that Israel is considering unilateral steps.

The US spokeswoman further added that "no one should take any steps that undermine trust, including unilateral."

Harf also stressed that Martin Indyk intends to resume his role as US special envoy to what the US government calls ‘peace’ process.
