said here Tuesday.

"I'll be talking to president Abbas today ... and he is committed to continuing to come to the negotiation because he believes that negotiation is what will resolve this issue," Kerry said in Brasilia.

"Let me make it clear. The policy of the United States with respect to all settlements, is that they are illegitimate," he told a presser after talks with his Brazilian counterpart Antonio Patriota.

"But, that said, (Israeli) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was completely up front with me and with president Abbas that he would be announcing some additional (settlement) building in places that will not affect the peace map, that will not have any impact on the capacity to have a peace agreement," the U.S. chief diplomat said.
