[The Israeli Likud] party's central committee voted in favor of resuming settlement construction when the 10-month West Bank settlement freeze expires in September.[...]
The settlement freeze has always been a token gesture: It was time-limited from the beginning, it didn't include East Jerusalem, and it has frequently been ignored by settlers. Still, it was a prerequisite for Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to endorse indirect talks. It's hard to imagine those talks being renewed when the freeze ends in September.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
