ABSTRACT:
One of the significant factors in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the settlement policy of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories. This paper examines how the settlement policy has impacted Palestinians and violated their fundamental rights, such as the right to a livelihood, the right to education, and the right to movement. Israel has divided the West Bank into three zones—A, B, and C—where it controls outposts with heavy military security. Settler violence has also had a significant impact on Palestinians. Their agriculture and other industries have suffered as a result. Additionally, Israel constructed a separation wall, often referred to as the apartheid wall, which has further divided Palestinians and restricted their movement. The apartheid policies of Israel have deeply affected the Palestinian population.
