An armed Jewish settler surveys the scene after Israeli troops demolished makeshift structures in an unauthorised outpost near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Nerya, close to the Israeli city of Modiin November 11, 2009. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas again called for a halt to Israeli settlement building before he would resume peace talks with Israel, accusing it of trying to scupper Palestinian statehood.
