This BBC article provides a brief guide to Israeli settlements. It covers where the settlements are located, and states that a deal on the settlements is unlikely, especially in East Jerusalem, since Israel regards Jerusalem as its capital. However, the authors argue that a deal on West Bank settlements is possible, if not likely. It also relates the arguments for and against the settlement legality. Opponents have argued that it violates the 1949 Geneva Convention. Israeli says they are legal under 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine.
