| Video Discription | (16 Sep 2014) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 2023074 VOICE-OVER: THIS IS THE ARIEL SETTLEMENT ONE OF MANY EXPANDING IN THE PALESTINIAN WEST BANK AN ADVOCACY GROUP IS BOASTING A 2 PERCENT GROWTH in SETTLEMENTS IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2014 - THEY SAY THE CONTINUED EXPANSION IN PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES IS FOR THE GREATER GOOD AND IS NOT GOING TO STOP SOUNDBITE (English) Dani Dayan, chief foreign envoy of the Yesha Council: "Our presence here is a fact. (CUT) I'm sure that (there) will come a day when the world will understand that our presence here, prevents the establishment of an Islamic fundamentalist ISIS-like state in the heart of the Middle East, destabilising the whole region." THE NEW FIGURES DREW IMMEDIATE CRITICISM FROM PALESTINIANS. MANY IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ALSO CONSIDER ISRAELI CONTRUCTION ON OCCUPIED LANDS TO BE ILLEGAL. SOUNDBITE (English) Hanan Ashrawi, senior Palestinian official: "Moving your own population into (an) occupied territory and settling there is a war crime according to the Fourth Geneva convention. So either Israel stops or we will have to hold Israel accountable legally." PALESTINIAN OFFICIALS SAY THESE TYPES OF ACTIONS DESTROY ANY CHANCE OF A TWO-STATE SOLUTION AND PEACE. AN ISRAELI ANTI-SETTLEMENT GROUP SAYS WHILE THE EXPANSION COMPLICATES ISSUES, IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR A PEACE DEAL. SOUNDBITE (English) Yariv Oppenheimer, Director of the anti-settlement group, Peace Now: "Although the number of settlers is rising up rapidly, still most of the settlers are living in the settlement blocs, these places that are not going to be evacuated after the peace treaty will be signed." AT THIS RATE, THE YESHA COUNCIL REPRESENTING THE SETTLEMENTS PROJECTS GROWTH IN THE WEST BANK TO REACH FOUR PERCENT BY THE END OF THE YEAR. SALIM ESSAID, ASSOCIATED PRESS.
