US presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has hinted that she is open to the idea of making American aid to Israel conditional on Jerusalem halting settlement activities.
In her comments to The Hill published on Sunday, Warren said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pushing for expansion, which she said was inconsistent with the two-state solution.

"It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table," she said.
The Massachusetts senator is the current front-runner in the Democratic race, speeding past Joe Biden as the Ukraine crisis seems to have taken a toll on his backing.
She is also the second Democrat in this race to voice approval for cutting aid to Israel, after Pete Buttigieg, trailing way behind Warren in polls, said in June he could cut the military aid over full West Bank annexation.
In the run-up to the September general election, Netanyahu pledged to annex swathes of land in the West Bank if elected – echoing a similar statement made before the spring elections.
Earlier, in March, the Trump administration formally recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel, making the US the first country to do so.
