Slowly taking land, because if they can't have security through a negotiated peace they'll have it by taking more land. It's cynical and harms the negotiated peace process, but the hope for a peace deal is low and falling after the multiple failed deals and good offers.

Under international law (specifically the Fourth Geneva Convention), an occupying power is prohibited from:
- Transferring its own population into occupied territory.
- Destroying property or forcibly displacing residents unless absolutely necessary for military operations.
A more accurate term than "taking" would be "annexed" or even "ethnic cleansing" as they are dispossessing those on the land.
