Israeli Settlements - Ongoing Israeli settlements in the West Bank has been for decades at the heart of Israeli Palestinian conflict. The term settlement refers to the Israeli Jewish communities that Israel established after 1967 beyond the Green Line on land occupied in the Six-Day War. During the disengagement program in the summer of 2005, 17 Gaza Strip settlements and four settlements in northern West Bank were dismantled. Today, all settlements are in the West Bank. By the end of 2009 there were 120 official settlements in the West Bank (not including East Jerusalem). 290,000 Israelis live in West Bank settlements (according to Central Bureau of Statistics data for 2008). Outposts are, essentially, settlements established by governments of Israel since the 1990s in an unofficial manner. In 1996, the government decided not to build new settlements; but in order to skirt political and international obligations, it established unofficial settlements, calling them "illegal outposts" or "unauthorized outposts." There are estimated 4000 settlers living in outposts. Many of the settlers are Ideological settlers who chose to live in settlements for ideological reasons, to settle the Land of Israel and prevent implementation of a two-state solution. The majority of settlers, however, are "quality-of-life" settlers who came to the settlements for their low housing prices and relatively high quality of life, rather than for ideological reasons. On November, 2009 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a 10-month freeze on settlement construction. This decision implies to the construction of new buildings only. Civil Administration sent inspectors to patrol West Bank settlements and enforce the construction freeze orders. Settlers confronted the inspectors in several settlements, trying to prevent them from handing out the construction freeze warrants. Led by settler leaders, a massive public campaign was raised against the government's decision.

Tensions between authorities and ultra-Orthodox Jews, who make up a third of Jerusalem's residents, have been high since voters replaced an ultra-Orthodox mayor with a secular candidate in a November, 2008 election. During several weeks, on summer 2009, ultra-Orthodox Jews and authorities have clashed repeatedly over a decision by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat to open a municipal parking lot on the Sabbath. Ultra-Orthodox Jews oppose the idea because driving is forbidden on the Sabbath On Summer 2009 Jerusalem municipality decided that Old City's Karta parking lot will be open on Sabbath. Ultra-Orthodox protesters have converged on the Karta parking garage every week since the Jerusalem municipality's decision.

Hundreds of protesters have been gathering in Jerusalem on a weekly basis in the Haredi neighborhood of Meah Shearim and in front of Karta parking lot to protest the municipality's decision to open the parking lot. On July,2009 Ultra-Orthodox Jews clashed for several days with police using horses and water cannon in Jerusalem, rioting over the arrest of a mentally ill Hasidic woman who authorities said was starving her child. During the riots protesters smoldered trash cans and littered Jerusalem streets. Security forces armed with water cannons and backed by mounted units battled protesters hurling bricks and bottles and blocking main thoroughfares with piles of garbage. On November 2009 masses of angry Ultra Orthodox Jews demonstrated at the Jerusalem factory of computer giant Intel,to protest the electronic chip maker's operations on the Sabbath. Chanting the Yiddish word for Sabbath, they charged that work is forbidden on the holy day of rest according to the Bible and called on the company to stay closed on Saturdays. The unrest points to the deep divisions between the secular majority in Israel and the ultra-Orthodox minority.

oute 443 The Ministerial Committee on Legislation will discuss Sunday, February 07'th 2010, a proposed bill that would see Route 443 annexed by Israel, thereby automatically allowing only Israelis to use it. The bill was proposed by MK Moshe Matalon ( of Yisrael Beitenu Party ) and supported by 17 additional lawmakers. According to a recent High Court ruling Route 443 was due to be opened to Palestinians within about three months. Since then, various political figures have called for a law that would get around the court's decision. The explanatory pages to the proposed bill note that the need for the law has arisen in the wake of the ruling, which determines that a road that has seen shooting attacks on Israelis in the past must be available to Palestinian use. Supporters of the bill claim that opening Route 443 to Palestinians will mean that thousands of Israelis will avoid using it, and those who continue to drive on this road will be putting their lives in danger. The Transportation Ministry warned that if drivers taking Route 443 are not protected, following a High Court ruling that the road should be opened to Palestinian traffic, Highway 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will suffer from serious traffic jams. The discussed road segment was closed to Palestinian traffic on October 2000, when the al-Aqsa Intifada broke out, following an order issued by then Binyamin Territorial Brigade Commander Gal Hirsch. The High Court of Justice last month accepted a petition by heads of Palestinian villages situated on Route 443, in which they demand the right to travel by this road. The new orders will come into effect in five months.
