The US is considering abstaining from a possible UN Security Council resolution against Israeli settlement expansion in East Jerusalem, the BBC has learned.
The possibility surfaced at talks in Paris last week between a senior US official and Qatar's foreign minister.
The official said the US would "seriously consider abstaining" if the issue of Israeli settlements was put to the vote, a diplomat told the BBC.
The US usually blocks Security Council resolutions criticising Israel.
But relations between the allies have been severely strained by the announcement of plans to build 1,600 homes in an East Jerusalem settlement during a recent visit to Israel by US Vice-President Joe Biden.
The move prompted the Palestinians to pull out of the US-brokered indirect "proximity talks" that had only just been agreed in a bid to revive the peace process, which has been stalled for more than a year.

Another out right lie—palestinians were never involved.
Just another Jew hater in a long line of Jew haters...
Obama is showing his true colors once again. If you don’t side with Israel, then who are you siding with? In this instance it’s with the Palestinians, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Fatah, Syria...
Obama, you Muslim plant, you are one serious jackass.
Only pulled out in a sense, Obama is still negotiating for them. A few months ago there was an actual request made by the palestinians for the US to represent their interests in negotiations. Don’t think I posted the article, and can’t find it now, but the administration is doing a fine job as a palestinian advocate.
Obummer will be toast if they US does not cast a proper vote infavor of Israel.
The Democrats and the left have long since taken to illegally tampering with US foreign policy during Republican administrations, going so far as to offer aid and comfort to our enemies.
So perhaps it is time for the Republicans and the right to create a “shadow administration”, to assure our allies, like Israel and Britain, that the Republicans and right still support them, and want them to be our friends.
However, fair warning to them that the Democrats and left are not their friends, so they would be well advised to support the Republicans being in power in the US in the future.
Israel, especially, needs to persuade American Jews that their embrace of leftism only leads to Jewish destruction, despite the endless idealistic promises of the left. Golden calf worship may promise much to Jews, but the end result is always the same.
If only I could “abstain” or vote “present” on Obamacare.
Israel, under the bus.
-16 today, -25 if he does this.
Not only is he saying that he plans to vote “Present,” but by making this announcement ahead of time, he’s inviting the UN to come forward with this resolution.
Jewish-American libs (progressives) will not abandon 0-bummer over his abandonment of Israel.
I PRAY TO GOD YOUR WRONG!
