Some 500,000 Israeli settlers now live on the West Bank, including nearly 200,000 in East Jerusalem, which Israel annexed after the 1967 war and so does not recognise its inhabitants as settlers. Of the 305,000 in the rest of the West Bank, up to 230,000 live in the big blocks. About 100,000 of them are ultra-Orthodox Jews who live in Beitar Ilit and Modin Ilit, two burgeoning settlements near the 1967 line. (The Economist).
