Israeli PM Backs West Bank Settlements

IMMANUEL, WEST BANK - MAY 14: Jewish settler boys build a bonfire outside their apartment complex May 14, 2003 in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Immanuel. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon talked tough on Jewish settlements during an interview this week, suggesting that during the peace process he will try to hold on to much of the West Bank's heartland. The peace process aims to create a Palestinian state within three years. (Photo by David Silverman/Getty Images)
