Cool, now explain what they are doing in the West Bank right now, with overwhelming support from the Israeli population.

Slowly taking land, because if they can't have security through a negotiated peace they'll have it by taking more land. It's cynical and harms the negotiated peace process, but the hope for a peace deal is low and falling after the multiple failed deals and good offers.

Under international law (specifically the Fourth Geneva Convention), an occupying power is prohibited from:

- Transferring its own population into occupied territory.

- Destroying property or forcibly displacing residents unless absolutely necessary for military operations.

A more accurate term than "taking" would be "annexed" or even "ethnic cleansing" as they are dispossessing those on the land.

These short term “solutions” will only lead to more violence and war later on down the line. And Israel will lose the remaining allies it has left.
