Israeli settlements have expanded by over 23 percent in the West Bank since 2009. Some 650,000 Israeli settlers already live in over 200 illegal settlements in the occupied territories. Activists have warned that Tel Aviv is planning to grab as much Palestinian lands as possible to raise the number of settlers to 1 million by 2019.
