Overview
Since the 1967 conflict in the Middle East, Israel has established roughly 160 settlements across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, now home to about 700,000 Jewish residents.
Historical Context
Following its military advances in 1967, Israel extended its control over territories that Palestinians envision as key components of a future independent state, which would also include Gaza. The development of these settlements has played a central role in shaping the region’s complex dynamics.
Ongoing Impact
The expansion of these communities continues to stir debate and contribute to longstanding tensions in the area. As the settlements grow, they remain a critical element in the discussions surrounding territorial claims and the prospects for a peaceful resolution in the region.
