Israel is in the process of approving 695 more housing units in Palestinian territory, which means more Israeli settlers will make their home there. This means as a controversial minority, they must be protected by the Israeli military. But more important, if Israel is to negotiate a peace agreement with the Palestinians, a likely major sticking point will be the removal of these settlements or to put them under the protection of the Palestinian Authority.
In the past, removal of settlements has pitted Israelis vs. Israelis in ugly confrontations. Yet Israel continues to build this housing, complicating any future peace agreements with its neighbors.
