<p>We are aware of media and UN reports that settlement expansion in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories has surpassed population growth in Israel. At the UN Security
Council on 20 June, the UK Permanent Representative to the UN expressed concern about
continuing Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank, which is contrary to international
law and makes a two-state solution harder to achieve. We regularly raise our grave
concerns on this issue with the Government of Israel and urge it to reverse its policy
of settlement expansion.</p>
