However, this striving after settlement has not progressed a single step forward because of the lack of any Israeli political will to move in that direction, Israel's rejection of the very idea of an international conference and its denial of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. The situation has been complicated further by the immigration of thousands of Soviet Jews to the occupied Palestinian and other Arab territories. This has just started and the number of the immigrants is expected to reach 1 Million. One cannot but ask oneself where all these people are going to live and whether it is not the intention of Israel to settle them in the occupied territories at the expense of the legitimate inhabitants and thereby create a new fait accompli on the ground that would obviate the possibility of adopting any proposed solution. If this new situation continues, its serious consequences could not but trigger a new and major crisis in the Middle East region such as the region has never seen.
