Not even a week had passed when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Vice President Biden that right wingers in the Israeli government began an aggressive expansion of housing in east Jerusalem. The plan immediately sparked outrage from President Obama and his administration, who condemned the act and demanded Israel halt all expansion in the name of pursuing further peace talks with the Palestinians. Secretary of State Clinton had addressed the situation as saying that relations were not strained by this action, instead pursuing more Mideast talks. I agree with this totally, as you have to give some ground to get some; it isn't like the Palestinians are completely against talks. Israel just needs to cease aggressive expansions for once if there is a hope of new talks. Who wouldn't want peace? Check it out here!

-I like the topic you chose to write about, I thought that you got right to the point. I also like how you added your opinion, and I'm sure everyone would agree with you.
-"Not even a week had passed when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Vice President Biden that right wingers in the Israeli government began an aggressive expansion of housing in east Jerusalem." - This sentence sounded like it could be worked on.
