The UK condemns settler violence and the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements. Attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, including schools, are unacceptable. We have raised concerns over settler violence with the Government of Israel, calling for those responsible to be held to account and for effective action to prevent further settler violence. We continue to urge Israel to meet its obligations under international law to protect civilians and ensure access to education. We continue to work with international partners to press for accountability and to de-escalate tensions in the West Bank.
