Will the US interfere with Irsael's plans?

The Obama administration has yet to announce a decision on what the US will do in response to the Israeli plan to build 1600 homes on the disputed territory with Palestine. So far, the US administration has released several statements of their disapproval of the action as well as Hilary Clinton's calls for peace talks between the two leaders. However, none of the scolds have been responded to by the Israeli government, and plans for construction seem to be ready to move along as scheduled.
I think that while the US should possibly offer to facilitate peace talks between the two areas to avoid some type of violent outbreak that could occur if the issue is not addressed. I think it is ridiculous that Israel would chose now, one of the most peaceful times in that area's history, to rock the boat and cause trouble. While I understand that they believe they are entitled to that land, I think that if they were smart, they would chose to play nice with the Palestinians for the safe of their own people, and their country.
