The US is disappointed with Israel's announcement to approve thousands of new settlements in the West Bank, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday during a press conference in Buenos Aires with Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino. 

Israel intends to advance plans for 3,000 new settler homes in the aftermath of the West Bank terror attack next to a checkpoint heading into Jerusalem, in which one man was killed, and another eight were injured, The Post reported on Thursday. 

Blinken expressed his condolences for the victims of the terror attack, and said the US continues to support Israel's right to self-defense and to deal with terrorism.
