The West Bank Jewish settlement of Ariel is seen here from a plane on Monday. The settlement issue is one of the thorniest in the peace talks. Some 300,000 Israelis live in settlements dotting the West Bank, in addition to 180,000 Israelis living in Jewish neighborhoods built in East Jerusalem.

The Palestinians want all of the West Bank as part of their future state, with East Jerusalem as their capital. Ariel Schalit/AP
