<p>While we have not made an assessment of this issue, the UK strongly condemns all
forms of violence, including any incidence of violence by Israeli settlers against
Palestinians. We also deplore incitement and comments that could stir up hatred and
prejudice. We welcome the efforts of Israeli authorities to tackle settler violence,
and urge them to thoroughly investigate every instance, and bring those responsible
to justice. We have also stressed the importance of the Israel security forces providing
appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population. We have a regular dialogue
with both the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel in which we reiterate
the need for both sides to prepare their populations for peaceful coexistence, including
by promoting a more positive portrayal of each other.</p>
