A reason, why we keep hearing about Jewish settlements, which may interrupt peace agreements, is Aliyah :) "Aliyah (ah-lee-yaw; Hebrew: עֲלִיָּה Translit.: aliyah Translated: ascent) is the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to the land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael). It is one of the most basic tenets of Zionist ideology. The opposite action, emigration from Israel, is referred to as yerida ("descent").[1] The return to the Holy Land has been the aspiration of many Jews since the Babylonian exile. Large-scale immigration to the land of Israel (Eretz Israel) began in 1882.[2] Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, more than 3 million Jews from over 90 countries have arrived in Israel.[3]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah
