Israel's Religious Right and the Question of Settlements
International Crisis Group, Middle East Report Nr. 89, July 20, 2009, 49p (pdf)
"Benjamin Netanyahu is in a bind, according to the report. 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. They occupy key positions in the military, the government and the education and legal sectors, as well as various layers of the bureaucracy."
