D. increasing Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip

Explanation:

The Israeli settlements are colonies built by Israel from 1967 on territories conquered during the Six Day War. Colonies were established on lands granted to the Arab State of Palestine in United Nations resolution 181, later occupied by Egypt and Jordan as a result of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, as well as on lands belonging to Syria and Egypt. Although Israel withdrew from some of these territories in 1981 (the Sinai Peninsula) and in 2005 (the Gaza Strip), the reality is that the colonies have increased in number and population, often displacing the original inhabitants and with demolitions and expropriations without compensation of their lands.
