| | Israeli negotiators have apparently discussed returning as much as 90 percent of the West Bank to Palestinian control, reserving the remainder to accommodate Israeli settlements. | | | That is unacceptable to Rima Tarazi, the president of the General Union of Palestinian Women, who says that "with settlements there can be no peace." | | | And the future of Jerusalem, which both Israelis and Palestinians want as their capital, is perhaps the core of the issue, at least symbolically. |

| | The Israeli policy limits the Palestinians' basic rights, including the freedom to choose their place of residence and travel; the policy aims to make Palestine a permanent part of Israel by building Jewish settlements. | | | Israel, however, will not respect such international law because its aim is to take over Palestine permanently by building Israeli settlements there. | | | Arafat; that is what makes the anti-Israeli movement an intifada. |

| | According to figures released on 20 February 2000 by the Council for Jewish Settlements, the population of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories grew by 12.5 percent in 1999, the highest growth rate recorded in recent years. | | | Among these issues were the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, which were built and expanded by successive Israeli governments throughout the over thirty years of the Israeli Occupation. | | | However, under international law, there is no distinction, as all settlements in occupied territories are illegal, and no endorsement by the Israeli government can affect that status. |
