One of the recurring claims of the various Israel government spokespersons over the past few decades regarding construction in the settlements was that it only occurs within the \u201cboundaries of the settlement\u201d.\u00a0 Words of that nature were even uttered by Prime Minister Olmert during a recent meeting with Abdullah, the King of Jordan (May 15, 2007), during which he promised that:\u00a0 \u201cthe construction of settlements is only being carried out within the approved designated lines\u201d.\u00a0 However, through the years, Israel\u2019s spokespersons made deceptive and manipulative use of the concept of \u201csettlement areas\u201d in order to continue, in fact, to make it possible for settlements to grow and develop without almost any restrictions.\u00a0 The construction in settlements \u201cwithin their boundaries\u201d continued, in contradiction to the commitment of those very same governments to maintain \u201cpolitical restraint\u201d, where the vision of a future Palestinian state plays a major role.\u00a0 In this context, it is important to remember that the State of Israel\u2019s official position is that no new settlement has been established anywhere in the West Bank for over a decade.\u00a0 As an aside, we should like to add that this was the reason that a need arose for the establishment of \u201coutposts\u201d, where the goal was to circumvent the ban on the establishment of official new settlements.<\/p>\n

This report was written in order to achieve three goals:
\nA.\u00a0Expose the system of considerations which guided the architects of the settlement project when they drew up the boundaries of settlement jurisdiction;
\nB.\u00a0Discuss the way that Israeli governments used these jurisdiction to promote and reinforce their political goals, first and foremost of which was the expansion of the settlement project; and
\nC.\u00a0Provide an accurate comparison between the official and actual boundaries of the settlements.<\/p>\n
