Some 651,000 Israeli settlers lived in 185 illegal settlements and 220 unauthorised locations in the West Bank and Jerusalem at the start of 2015, representing 21 per cent of the area’s total population and making the “two state solution unachievable”, a senior Fatah member warned.
In his newly released book entitled “Israeli settlements and the erosion of the two-state solution”, Fatah Central Committee member Mohammed Shtayyeh said there were 6.1 million Jews living in historical Palestine, with the number of Palestinians reaching the same figure in the same year, adding that in 2020 the Palestinians will make up to 53 per cent of the population of historical Palestine.
