Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu will approve more construction in West Bank settlements before considering a halt to building work, officials say.
The prime minister is expected to back work on hundreds of new homes next week in addition to 2,500 units already being built, a senior aide said.
He will then consider a temporary halt to settlement building, as requested by the US in a bid to restart peace talks.
The news angered the Palestinians who said it was "absolutely unacceptable".
"The only thing suspended by this announcement will be the peace process," Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told the AFP news agency.

An Arab organisation is to be put on trial in the Netherlands over its publication of a cartoon deemed offensive to Jews, prosecutors say.
The cartoon, published by the Arab European League (AEL) on its website, questions the Holocaust.
It said the decision to prosecute illustrated bias against Muslims.
It said the same standards were not applied to the Dutch MP Geert Wilders, who made a film including cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
Last month prosecutors said they would not put the far-right MP on trial for distributing the controversial Danish cartoons, which caused a storm of protest after their publication in 2005.

The prime minister of Bangladesh has ordered male government employees to stop wearing suits, jackets and ties to save electricity.
Sheikh Hasina told officials that doing so would minimise their use of air-conditioners.
Bangladesh suffers from daily power cuts as power plants are unable to meet the country's demand.
A senior official told the BBC the government would soon encourage businesses to follow its example.
Bangladesh's official dress code has been rewritten - after Sheikh Hasina ordered government employees to do more to ease the country's energy shortage.
Even ministers now will no longer be expected to wear suits and ties.

wo Pakistani students arrested over unproven terror allegations in England earlier this year have returned to Pakistan, a British official said.
The duo have landed in Lahore after agreeing to leave Britain voluntarily, the official said.
Rizwan Sharif and Umar Farooq were among 12 people held by police after raids in north-west England in April, but the pair were never charged.
The Home Office tried to deport them, saying they remained a security threat.
The case has strained relations between Britain and Pakistan and also caused embarrassment to Britain.
On arrival in Lahore, the students told journalists that they were investigated by hundreds of policemen during their detention but the British authorities failed to prove any charges against him.
Chelsea hit by new signings ban
Chelsea have been banned from signing any new players until January 2011 by football's governing body Fifa.
The Premier League club was found guilty of inducing French winger Gael Kakuta, 18, to breach his contract with Lens when he joined in 2007.
"Chelsea is banned from registering any new players for the two next registration periods," a statement on Fifa's website read.
Chelsea can appeal against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Fifa's dispute resolution chamber (DRC) ruled Kakuta must pay compensation of 780,000 euros (£682,000), for which Chelsea are "jointly and severally liable".
