I thank the Chair and guests. With the horror that is Gaza, there has been a distraction or a lack of focus on the increasing settlements in the West Bank. The witnesses might elaborate on that because we have a wide and increasing audience for this issue. I ask them to explain what has been happening in the relatively recent past as regards increasing settlements in the West Bank. I will have some supplementary questions afterwards.
