since 2000 with a total of 3,000 units (none since 2013 though some have been approved for construction since 2017 - mostly neighborhoods of existing settlements)
I can't find when the last illegal (even by Israel standards - but still built with the ol wink wink nudge nudge of government agencies) outpost was constructed but there are over 200 of them, many as neighborhoods of the original 144 settlements.
Those people will be citizens of the new Palestine someday.
East Jerusalem is another issue - regardless of what poll you look at, the majority of Palestinians that live there would prefer to be in Israel. That area should be allowed to self determine which country they become a part of by vote.
