Abstract
Background: Israeli territorial expansionism interlinked with territorial claims to historic Palestine shifted the aspirations for the establishment of a viable Palestinian state in historic Palestine towards a designated territory under the 1947 UN Partition Plan, which is constantly shrinking. The circumvention of the legal system to employ strategies for territorial gains and to counter the demographic majority of Palestinians conveys the settler-colonial ambitions of Israel to create an ethnic Jewish state in historic Palestine corresponding with the aspirations of the Zionist movement.
