>International human rights law and international humanitarian law apply concurrently in the Occupied Palestinian Territory of Gaza, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the occupied Syrian Golan. This includes the obligations contained in the international human rights treaties to which Israel is a State party,[4] as well as the Regulations respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land of 1907 (!_Hague Regulations_!) and the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (!_Fourth Geneva Convention_!), which are binding upon Israel as the occupying Power under international humanitarian law

I added emphasis to the quote in the comment you're replying to since you missed it the first time.

Yes, exactly, these laws protect people (from forcible transfer), not land (from people settling it) nor political entities (e.g. ambition to establish a state). I've read the documents in full, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention's 49th Article. It clearly protects people from forced transfer - both the residents of the occupied territory and the citizens of the occupying power. But it does not prevent people from moving of their own free will.
