Description
This Special Bulletin presents the basic facts and figures relating to the issue of settlements – their number, their distribution, their population and their growth rates. It further looks at the historical background of settlements, their status in international law and UN resolutions, and their role in the peace process. Israeli options for a final status agreement as well as the Palestinian position are explored. The text is illustrated with six maps and several graphs and tables, and also includes a list of further research sources on the topic.
