Mr. Adeyemo said settler activity continues to undermine peace and security in the West Bank

Mr. Adeyemo said settler activity continues to undermine peace and security in the West Bank, a disputed territory between Israel and Jordan.

The West Bank has been under varying degrees of Israeli military and civil administration after Israeli forces seized control of the land during the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel has not formally annexed the West Bank but maintains administrative control of sections of the territory.
