If the US is going to pressure Israel to halt any construction I would make it the construction of settlements.

We are putting pressure......on both. Both are roadblocks to peace.

The wall actually makes some sense.

Not to the Palestinians. As it stands right now, the wall follows the path of the settlements which permits the Israelis to annex even more land then even the land on which the settlements are located. Because the settlements are often 20 or 30 kilometers inside the border of Palestine, the Israelis end up annexing the empty Palestinian land that exists between the settlement and Israel proper.

The whole concept infuriates the Palestinians.
