Was asked a simple and direct question today: What does #Israel intend for occupied #Palestnian territory, if it had its way? While answering may not be all that simple, we can - and should - infer from what Israel says, even if it is in a top-secret classified cable. So here: 
On 20 July 1967, the #Israeli Interminsteral Committee on Occupied Territory - chaired by Major-General Chaim Herzog (later President of Israel and father of current President @Isaac_Herzog) wrote to the Prime Minister with 10 recommendations.
1. No bilateral negotiations, or resolution, with the Arabs of the #WestBank and #Gaza.
4. Cultivate sympathetic Arab leadership to espouse Israeli policy in the Arab world.
5. Quitely and diligently deport #Palestinains from occupied territory.

BREAKING: According to @cogatonline, in the last five years, #Palestinians in Area C were granted 33 building permits, while during the same period, settlers - transferred to occupied territory in violation of #IHL - were granted over 16,500 building permits. Annexation de facto.
The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. It is intended to prevent a practice adopted during the Second World War by certain Powers (...)
which transferred portions of their own population to occupied territory for political and racial reasons or in order, as they claimed, to colonize those territories. Such transfers worsened the economic situation of the native population and endangered their separate existence.
