“IMPACT OF ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS ON THE PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF THE PALESTINIAN CASE”

This study had concluded that the settlements established by Israel on the Palestinian lands, occupied by Israel in 1967, aim at constant dominance on such lands through imposing such difficult situation and prevents the separation of the settled lands from Israel in any political process aiming at solving the Palestinian dilemma. The settlement policy is a common feature, in principle and content, throughout all the political powers ruling Israel. In light international law rules and provisions, the study had conclude that establishing settlements in the occupied Palestinian lands is illegal and violates the right of the Palestinian people which acknowledged by the international legitimacy represented in UN and its various resolutions in this regard. The study had also concluded that the political support and diplomatic cover granted by USA to Israel to prevent being convicted in the international forums had reached infinite limit against the rights of the Palestinians. Thus, Israel was encouraged to resume Palestinian lands' seizure and uprooting their original inhabitants.
