What happens to Jewish settlements if and when......?

What happens to Jewish settlements currently built and to be built on West Bank lands once complete independence is established of the "State of Palestine"? Which country will these Jewish settlements be considered a part of? The State of Israel or The State of Palestine? Keeping in mind, these current Jewish settlements are on land which is to be the future State of Palestine.


The Jewish settlements will most likely be demolished, and the settlers evicted. And the question will become Moot.

(See: "Gaza Disengagement" for more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%27s_unilateral_disengagement_plan )

If it ever happens, they should be considered a part of Palestine. But Israel won't accept that.

The religious zealots who currently inhabit these lands should be repatriated to Israel by the Israeli authorities.

The sooner this happen the sooner peace might be established.

Ideally the homes should be left for the use of Palestinian nationals but on past experience, I suspect these zealots will probably destroy every single building before leaving.

Israel Rocks deal with it Palenstine,

As of now, it is a big "if" an independent state will come into being.

But you ask a very good question.

Many proponents of the so labeled "peace process" say that in order for it to come to fruition they will have to remove everyone who is Jewish from the West Bank.

People who advocate that do not seem to ponder the following questions:

- Why should they be forced to leave merely because they belong to a specific ethnicity? Is that not similar to those who advocate the removal of all Arabs from the West Bank?

- If the settlements are to be removed, are Jews then allowed to live in this "Palestinian state"? Are they allowed to own land?

And if the answer is "yes", then why not just leave them in place?
