Gaza and West Bank Settlements

If I recall correctly the Israelis closed all of their settlements in Gaza 4 years ago and withdrew all Israeli settlers, I believe this is true for the West Bank also. That is what made it possible for the Palestinians to try and start building their own State and creating their own government.

Now I'm pulling from memory here but the Israelis no longer have any settlements within the Palestinian controlled areas of West Bank or Gaza and any new construction is occuring outside of those lines.
