"The Palestinians will be more suspicious of Netanyahu's intentions. His statements in Cairo and Washington that he is committed to peace will look worthless. Furthermore, allowing more Israeli settlers will encourage radical elements in the Palestinian community. Hamas will ask, 'What kind of peace can be based on bringing Jews into the West Bank and Gaza?'" Netanyahu's decision on settlements will have its effect on the world stage as well.
