1. BBC - "Settlers unnerved by uncertainty"

Friday, 29 April, 2005, 10:51 GMT 11:51 UK

"In Gush Katif, the bloc of Israeli settlements in the southern Gaza Strip, disengagement is coming ever closer, but they are still building and pouring concrete.

In one village, a synagogue was being hastily completed.

In the largest settlement, Neve Dekalim, a cement mixer tipped concrete into the belly of a giant extending boom, which in turn injected the cement-mix into the roof-space of a house - an ad hoc defence against Palestinian mortar bombs.

But the political lease on these settlements has almost expired.

Within a matter of months, troops will be coming to evacuate the settlers - by force if necessary."
