Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted Israel's "right to build" in Jerusalem, following a row with the US over plans for new homes in the city.
"Jerusalem is not a settlement, it's our capital," he said in Washington.
But Mr Netanyahu did not mention the decision to expand the East Jerusalem settlement of Ramat Shlomo in a speech to the pro-Israel lobby group, Aipac.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the meeting Israel had to make "difficult" choices for peace.
"The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 years ago, and the Jewish people are Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It's our capital,"

I watched the PM speech at AIPAC last night and I say kudos to him!!! It's like he said, Israel and the Jewish people are the ones that built Jerusalem thousands of years ago. It's their heritage and their right.
