Illegal West Bank Settlements

A report on Israeli government support of unauthorized Jewish settlement outposts across the West Bank has finally been delivered to Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon today.

The report, commissioned by Sharon last June under pressure from the U.S. government, accuses the current and previous Israeli governments of helping settlers construct illegal outposts in the West Bank.

Hear about the implications of the report's findings for the U.S., Israel and the Middle East peace process.
