24 January 2022

The UK regularly raises the issue of settler violence with the Government of Israel, most recently with Israel's Ministry of Defence on 4 January. We welcome discussion by the Israeli authorities' on how to address this issue, and urge Israel to bring those responsible to justice and end the culture of impunity. We continue to stress the importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population.
