Tel Aviv/JTA — The number of
Israeli settlers is growing at its lowest
rate in a decade.
According to Israeli government fig-
ures, the settler population in the West
Bank and Gaza Strip rose to 204,900
during the first nine months of the year,
an increase of 4.4 percent compared ro
the same period the previous year.
The arrival of new settlers, as well
as births among settlers, means the
settler population still rose despite
Israeli-Palestinian violence. The
Central Bureau of Statistics data
showed the settler population grew by
7.8 percent in 2000 and averaged 8
percent annual growth in each of the
previous five years.
