Former President Jimmy Carter, an outspoken critic of Israeli settlements, met Sunday with West Bank settlers in what he described as a chance to "listen" and make his views known.
Carter met with settler leader Shaul Goldstein and others at the pastoral settlement of Neve Daniel, south of Jerusalem. Carter said he was "here to listen" to the settlers, and that he hoped to "make sure they understand my own attitude toward Israel and the Jewish population in the world and toward the Jewish settlers."
