A chief grievance of the Palestinians was settlement building on land they claim for a future state.

Peace Now said it obtained documents from the Housing Ministry which indicate that while no construction has yet been approved, Israel has not shelved its plans and has continued to hire architects for the scheme, which drew global protest including from the UK.
An Israeli man who was stabbed three weeks ago near Hebron succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday, a spokesperson for a Jerusalem hospital said.
The Shin Bet said it had captured the suspects, and discovered an explosives lab in the Palestinian town of Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem, in a joint operation with the Israeli military and police, adding the suspects tried to form a “military infrastructure” in order to orchestrate attacks against Israelis.
Peace Now is an Israeli organization that actively campaigns for a two-state agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
“For these reasons, whenever an Israeli leader tries to promote the plans in E1, the worldwide community strongly condemns them”, Peace Now wrote. The latest round of US-brokered peace talks collapsed in April 2014.
B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, said “The people who bear the brunt of the [punitive] demolitions are relatives – including women, the elderly, and children – whom Israel does not suspect of involvement in any offense”.

Today, some 380,000 Israelis live in 135 West Bank settlements, with another 200,000 in east Jerusalem. “If it wasn’t significant, why do it at all”, she said.
