Material type: 
BookSeries: Middle East report no. 89.Publisher: Brussels, Belgium : International Crisis Group, 2009Description: 40 p.Subject(s): Israel -- Politics and government -- 1993- | Land settlement -- Government policy -- Israel | Religious Zionism -- IsraelAbstract: "Benjamin Netanyahu is in a bind. Israel is facing arguably unprecedented pressure to halt all settlement activity, led by a new and surprisingly determined U.S. administration. But the prime minister also heads a distinctly right-wing coalition and faces intense domestic pressure from settlers and their allies. However important, what will emerge from current discussions between Washington and Jerusalem will only be step one in a long process designed to achieve a settlement freeze, settlement evacuation and a genuine peace agreement with the Palestinians. Understanding how Israel might deal with these challenges requires understanding a key yet often ignored constituency -- its growing and increasingly powerful religious right" -- from executive summary.
