Part of President Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting will focus on Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. A new report from the Israeli group B’Tselem says Jewish settlements now control more than 42 percent of the West Bank. The group said the actual buildings of the settlements cover just one percent of the West Bank’s land area, but their jurisdiction and regional councils extends to more than 42 percent of the area. Much of the land controlled by the settlements was seized from Palestinians.
