The analytical report discusses the importance of employing settlement in the service of the Zionist project and its patterns in Palestine, specifically the West Bank, and its character of violence, substitution and settlement, in addition to its results in the West Bank and recent trends in settlement plans, and reviews the concept of Jordanian national security, its components and the challenges it faces.
The report concluded with the most important effects resulting from settlement policies on Jordanian national security, such as: the threat to Jordanian national security, the continuation of wars in the region, the increased risk of displacing Palestinians to Jordan and imposing settlement there, compromising the Hashemite custodianship of the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem, and increasing demands to extend to Jordan as a Part of the historic Land of Israel.
