<p>The UN reports that between 2009 and August 2014, nearly 50,000 fruit-bearing trees,
mainly olive trees, were destroyed or damaged in incidents of settler violence. The
UK has repeatedly raised our concerns about incidents of settler violence and intimidation
with the Israeli authorities. We have stressed the importance of bringing the extremist
settlers responsible to justice and of the Israel security forces providing appropriate
protection to the Palestinian civilian population. The UK will continue to argue for
a just outcome for all the people affected by illegal settlement construction and
the confiscation of land due to the Separation Barrier.</p><p> </p>
