Israeli settlers

Israeli settlers are Jewish residents living in communities established within territories captured by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War, primarily in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. These areas are considered by many Palestinians and the international community as occupied territories. The settlements are often the subject of political, legal, and security disputes, as they complicate efforts for a two-state solution by altering the geographic and demographic landscape. Supporters view them as territorial or religiously significant, while opponents see them as obstacles to peace and sovereignty for Palestinians.
