Video: Carter urges settlement halt
Former US President Jimmy Carter says a freeze on Israeli settlements is "absolutely necessary" to achieving peace in the Middle East.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Carter, who is currently visiting Israel as a member of the group known as the 'Elders', spoke about his views on the prospects for Middle East peace.
His comments come as Barack Obama, the US president, attempts to seal an Arab-Israeli peace deal that has eluded the region for more than six decades.
His administration has already made it clear it opposes the ongoing building of Jewish settlements on Palestinian land occupied since 1967.
Hundreds of thousands of homes have been constructed by Israel despite international condemnation and in contravention of international law.

Ria Novosti reports that Hamas prevented the assassination of Jimmy Carter
MOSCOW, June 16 (RIA Novosti) - Palestinian militants failed in an attempt to assassinate former U.S. president Jimmy Carter during his visit to the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported.
The paper said that militants with links to al-Qaida placed two roadside bombs at the Erez Israeli-Gaza crossing. The bombs were to be detonated as Carter was leaving the enclave.
However, according to Haaretz's source, Hamas discovered and safely disposed of the bombs.
Hamas authorities have denied reports of an attempted assassination, saying that its forces were conducting routine activities in the area.
Carter was in Gaza on Tuesday to meet with leaders of the ruling Hamas movement in an effort to persuade them to recognize the state of Israel.
