321. on the basls of the information and evldence before it, the special Comruitteeconcludes that the Governnent of rsrael has continued to folrow the same policy inthe occupied territortes as in the previous years, a pollcy based on the conceptherd by tbat covernment that the territories occupied in 1967 constitute a parE ofthe State of Israel. This policy has become more manifest during the period covered by the present report, as may be seen from the information contained insection IV. Therefore, neasures continue to be taken to establish settlenents, toexpropriate property and to encourage directly or indirectly the indigenousPaleatinlan population to leave the territory. This policy is further illustratedby the statements by oembers of the covernment of rsraer during the period covered.by the report and indeed by their very actions such as the occupation during August 1985 by mernbers of the Governmenc of Israel of a palestinian house in llebronnith the express purpose of asEerting the pretended fsraeli right to settle andtake over the occupled territory. such a policy refl.ects the clear intention ofthe GovernRent of Israel to ahnex the territories occupied by it in 1967 and is invlolation of tbe lnternational obligations undertaken by rsrael as a gtate party tothe Geneva Conventlon relatlve to the Treatment of the Civitian persons in fime of War (see annex I below). The Special Committee recalls, in this context, that this@nvention stipulates that nilitary occupatlon is to be considered as a Eemporary,de facto situation, giving no right Hhatsoever to the occupying power over theterritorial integrlty of the occupied territories. Illustrative of the seriousnessof this policy are statements sucb as those reflected i.n paragraphs 239 to A54above. rn the vlew of the special- coftmittee, these statements arone reave no doubtA/40/702 Bnglish Page 109
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the political situation in the occupied territories and the actions of the Israeli government, specifically its policy of settlement, expropriation, and population displacement. It seems to be highlighting the violation of international law and the rights of the Palestinian people. Given the focus on political and legal issues, it is likely that the text falls under a category that deals with international relations, human rights, or governance.
