ABSTRACT
Settlement activity in Judea and Samaria has been carried out, in the past 20 years, by the two large parties, the Alignment with its secular, socialist approach and the Likud with its religious, nationalistic one. While the Alignment took a pragmatic stand on settlement, adopting as a basis the Allon Plan’s notion of defensible borders, the Likud took a more broadly nationalistic position based on a territorial ideology and what is known as the Greater Land of Israel Movement.
