The strategic role of Israeli settlement in Jerusalem and the West Bank and its impact on the two-state solution

The study aimed to identify the strategic role played by the settlement, through which Israel was able to create changes on the ground that prevented the actual implementation of the two-state solution project on the ground, as Israel employed settlements to curse all the basic components and features that must be available in the Palestinian state, and that is through encroachment. The studied and systematic approach on the lands of the 1967 borders took the security and military arguments as the first pretext for the expansion and control of the land, the impact of the settlement on the geographical contiguity of the unity of the Palestinian lands in the West Bank through the permeation of the settlement blocks and outposts of the residential communities and linking these fallows and settlement blocs in a transportation network to connect them with each other This is at the expense of the Palestinian lands and the natural resources in them Which negatively affects the demographic census of settlers in the West Bank, along with the increase in the number of settlements, which takes away the right of sovereignty for the Palestinians on their lands. The study reached several recommendations, most notably: Activating the role of the international, Arab and Palestinian media in exposing the practices of the Israeli entity by focusing on settlement-related events In order to make it an issue of public opinion and to demonstrate the danger of settlement to the establishment of the Palestinian state, double strengthening the steadfastness of the Palestinians of Jerusalem by providing them with material and financial support through activating the Jerusalem Fund and establishing investment projects for Palestinian and Arab investors in and around Jerusalem as well until Israel stops completing the plan to Judaize the city of Jerusalem.
