This  study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the positions and policies of Israeli political parties and movements concerning the Israeli settlement project post-Oslo. It traces the evolution of these stances since the 1967 occupation of Palestinian territories, delving into the key debates, terminologies, and milestones that have shaped the discourse.

The research underscores various ideological, pragmatic, political, and demographic factors influencing the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories of 1967. These elements have charted the course of settlement development, determined its nature, and demarcated its distinct phases.

Employing a diverse array of sources, including scholarly books, research articles, archival materials, records of Knesset and cabinet meetings, newspapers, and magazines, the study also incorporates insights from local, Arab, regional, and international conferences, as well as agreements and conventions pertinent to the Palestinian question.
