At the request of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ahead of a key speech by the U.S. Secretary of State, Jerusalem's municipal government has canceled a vote on expanding settlements. In light of John Kerry's address due later Wednesday, Councilman Hanan Rubin told NBC News that Netanyahu asked the vote to approve 492 housing units be postponed. In a raging dispute over settlements, the housing plans had drawn U.S. criticism. Kerry's address is expected to be a last-ditch effort to restart peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis. According to former deputy national security adviser in Israel Chuck Freilich, it will be watched carefully by Netanyahu's government. http://nbcnews.to/2i7H1Ee http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
