Both figures could be considered "correct" depending on whether you think the settlers in East Jerusalem to be OK, or part of the same problem as the other 450K outside of East Jerusalem.

450 K in West Bank excluding East Jerusalem
220 K in East Jerusalem
-------
670 K total settlers in West Bank including East Jerusalem
I consider the larger figure to be more relevant to discussion of Israeli settlement on the West Bank. If you have reason to consider the East Jerusalem settlements distinctly less problematic and thus excludable, I will listen. Perhaps I am naive to use the total including East Jerusalem when discussing the settler problem.

The 700K figure was just rounding.
