Illegal settlement building in the West Bank continues at an unacceptable pace, and settler violence has reached record levels this Autumn.

We regularly discuss these issues with our international partners, we have imposed sanctions on violent settlers and outposts alike, and we continue to urge the Israeli government both to stop settlement expansion and crack down on the shameful acts of violence being committed by settlers against innocent Palestinian communities.
