Will The Israeli Settlers Resume Building Again?

I say frankly YES. For the following reasons.

* HAMAS said on no uncertain terms that they will never meet face to face with the Israeli representatives, if the Settlement Building does not cease immediately, and permanently.

* HAMAS also feels that they've been down this road before, and Israel have not honored their part of the bargain anytime before. And this is just another charade by Israel to stall the Peace Process.

* FATAH'S Mahmoud Abbas hands are tied to the Arab-European & US donors to his authority. He may want to take a hard stand with Israel on all or most of these outstanding and unsolved issues, but he realizes that The West Bank Authority and survival depends on Western Financial Support.

So he has to appear to his people to be strong on the issues, until he is forced to back off when it fails to materialize.

Just like this current effort will be dashed with the resumption of settlement building on Palestinian lands.

Derryck.
