<p>We are strongly opposed to any attempts to change the facts on the ground in the
West Bank by increasing the number of settlers living there. Such acts raise tensions
and undermine prospects for peace. During my visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian
Territories between 5-8 October, I discussed my strong concerns about the issue of
settlements and land expropriation with the Israeli Justice Minister on 6 October.
Discussions are continuing in Brussels on how the EU can best discourage settlement
expansion, and the UK is working closely with other Member States to that end.</p>
