Abstract

Zionist organizations established settlements in the West Bank with the view of defending and ensuring the security of the Israeli regime. Over the past half-century, Zionist mafia powers have expanded the geography of settlements in the West Bank along their own interests with economic rents from influential individuals and the Israeli Hebrew cabinet. As they became stronger, they intervened directly in the elections, passing laws, setting budgets and credits, and electing the prime minister and the cabinet of the Israeli regime. Continuation of this process led to the substantive inefficiency of democracy in Israel. On the other hand, during the last two decades, the nature of the settlements has become a security problem for this regime, so that the society in Israel has to pay for the security of the settlers materially and spiritually. So the question is what are the security implications of settlements in the West Bank? And how is it formulated? It can be said in response that the initial goals of establishing settlements have changed over the past 20 years, negatively affecting the Israeli regime and weakening the national security of this regime in various dimensions. This research is applied in nature and based on the descriptive-analytical method, data collecting and reviewing documents and Internet resources.
