Israel general discussion

I hope that I'm posting this in the right place.

Anyway, a bit off-topic, but out of curiosity--over the next several decades and beyond, do you see Israel accelerating the pace of settlement construction in the West Bank as a way of dealing with its rapidly growing overpopulation problem (assuming that it doesn't make peace with Palestine by that point in time, that is)?

Why would young people move to the west bank where's there's hardly any employment or cultural events that interest young people? let alone security concerns and other issues.

If anything it could be a way to house young Haredi couple thus making them also invested in the right wing project

For the record, I was thinking more of Haredi Jews moving to the West Bank than young people moving to the West Bank.

However, in regards to the lack of jobs in the West Bank, Israelis who live there could commute to Israel. You're correct about the security problems, though (but it is worth noting that the security situation in Israel and the West Bank right now still appears to be much better than it was between 2000 and 2004).
