Izraelske naselbine

izraelske skupnosti, zgrajene na zemljiščih, zasedenih v šestdnevni vojni leta 1967

Izraelske naselbine ali kolonije[1][2][3][4] so civilne skupnosti, kjer živijo izraelski državljani, skoraj izključno judovske identitete ali etnične pripadnosti,[5][6][7] zgrajene na območjih, ki jih je Izrael zasedel med Šestdnevno vojno leta 1967.[8] Mednarodna skupnost meni, da so izraelske naselbine nezakonite po mednarodnem pravu,[9][10][11][12][13] Izrael pa temu oporeka.[14][15][16][17]

Naselbine na območju Zahodnega brega (2020)
Naselbine na območju vzhodnega Jeruzalema (2006)
Naselbine na območju Golanske planote (modre pike, stanje leta 1992)

Izraelske naselbine trenutno obstajajo na Zahodnem bregu (vključno z vzhodnim Jeruzalemom), ki si ga Palestina lasti kot svoje ozemlje, in na Golanski planoti, ki mednarodno velja za sirsko ozemlje.[a] Vzhodni Jeruzalem in Golanska planota sta bili efektivno priključena Izraelu, kljub nasprotovanju mednarodne skupnosti, ki zavrača kakršnokoli spremembo statusa in ju obravnava kot okupirano ozemlje. Čeprav so naselbine na Zahodnem bregu na ozemlju, ki ga upravlja izraelska vojska in ne civilno pravo, je izraelsko civilno pravo "vpeljano" v naselja, tako da so tam živeči izraelski državljani obravnavani podobno kot tisti, ki živijo v Izraelu. Na Zahodnem bregu Izrael širi svoje obstoječe naselbine in poseljuje nova območja.[20][21][22][23][24]

Januarja 2023 je bilo na Zahodnem bregu 144 izraelskih naselbin, od tega 12 v vzhodnem Jeruzalemu.[25] Na Zahodnem bregu je več kot 100 Izraelskih naselbin, ki so nezakonite tudi po Izraelskem zakoniku. Skupaj več kot 450.000 izraelskih naseljencev živi na Zahodnem bregu, če pri tem ne štejemo vzhodnega Jeruzalema, kjer jih živi 220.000.[26][27] Na Golanski planoti živi več kot 25.000 izraelskih naseljencev. 18 izraelskih naselbin je bilo zgrajenih tudi na egiptovskem delu Sinajskega polotoka in 21 v Gazi. Po mirovnem sporazumu med Egiptom in Izraelom iz leta 1979 so bile evakuirane in demontirane vse naselbine v Egiptu. Poleg vseh naselbin v Gazi so bile kot del Izraelskega enostranskega umika iz Gaze leta 2005 demontirane tudi štiri naselbine na območju Zahodnega brega.[28]

Izrael je vzpostavil judovske soseske v vzhodnem Jeruzalemu in v okupiranem delu Golanske planote, ki ju je Izrael priključil, zato tamkajšnjega naseljevanja Izrael ne obravnava kot naselbine. Mednarodna skupnost obravnava obe ozemlji pod izraelsko okupacijo, kraje, ki so tam ustanovljeni, pa za nezakonite naselbine. Meddržavno sodišče je v svojem svetovalnem mnenju o pregradi na Zahodnem bregu iz leta 2004 ugotovilo, da so naselbine nezakonite.[29][30][31] Na Zahodnem bregu Izrael nadaljuje s širitvijo svojih preostalih naselbin in naseljevanjem novih območij,[32][33][34][35][36] kljub pritisku mednarodne skupnosti, naj s tem preneha.

Premestitev civilnega prebivalstva s strani okupacijske sile na ozemlje, ki ga zaseda, je vojni zločin.[37][38][39] Izrael zanika, da to velja za Zahodni breg.[40][41] Mednarodno kazensko sodišče je 20. decembra 2019 napovedalo preiskavo v Palestini glede domnevnih vojnih zločinov. Palestinci,[42] OIC[43] in Združeni narodi pogosto kritizirajo prisotnost in stalno širitev obstoječih naselbin s strani Izraela ter gradnjo novih naselbin kot oviro za izraelsko-palestinski mirovni proces.[44] Rusija,[45][46] Združeno kraljestvo,[47] Francija[48] in Evropska unija so ponovile te kritike.[49] Združeni narodi so večkrat podprli stališče, da izraelska gradnja naselbin pomeni kršitev Četrte ženevske konvencije.[50][51] ZDA so desetletja menile, da so naselbine »nelegitimne«,[44] dokler Trumpova administracija novembra 2019 ni spremenila tega stališča,[52] ko je izjavila, da »ustanovitev izraelskih civilnih naselbin na Zahodnem bregu sama po sebi ni v neskladju z mednarodnim pravom.« [53]

The international community has taken a critical view of both deportations and settlements as being contrary to international law. General Assembly resolutions have condemned the deportations since 1969, and have done so by overwhelming majorities in recent years. Likewise, they have consistently deplored the establishment of settlements, and have done so by overwhelming majorities throughout the period (since the end of 1976) of the rapid expansion in their numbers. The Security Council has also been critical of deportations and settlements; and other bodies have viewed them as an obstacle to peace, and illegal under international law... Although East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights have been brought directly under Israeli law, by acts that amount to annexation, both of these areas continue to be viewed by the international community as occupied, and their status as regards the applicability of international rules is in most respects identical to that of the West Bank and Gaza.

International Journal of Constitutional Law. 4 (3): 548. doi:10.1093/icon/mol021. The real controversy hovering over all the litigation on the security barrier concerns the fate of the Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. Since 1967, Israel has allowed and even encouraged its citizens to live in the new settlements established in the territories, motivated by religious and national sentiments attached to the history of the Jewish nation in the land of Israel. This policy has also been justified in terms of security interests, taking into consideration the dangerous geographic circumstances of Israel before 1967 (where Israeli areas on the Mediterranean coast were potentially threatened by Jordanian control of the West Bank ridge). The international community, for its part, has viewed this policy as patently illegal, based on the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention that prohibit moving populations to or from territories under occupation.

It can thus clearly be concluded that the transfer of Israeli settlers into the occupied territories violates not only the laws of belligerent occupation but the Palestinian right of self-determination under international law. The question remains, however, whether this is of any practical value. In other words, given the view of the international community that the Israeli settlements are illegal under the law if belligerent occupation, what purpose does it serve to establish that an additional breach of international law has occurred?
