For starters, the 100 "outpost" settlements that are illegal under Israel's own laws would find an easy venue for adjudication within Israel's own borders, if anybody had the political will to take on the hard-core Zionist wing (Bibi doesn't as they're part of his Likud coalition).

The others could be adjudicated in the ICC. Admittedly, "international law" is a squirrelly concept, but Israel is a signatory to the treaty that renders its settlements illegal. Probably the best way would be for America to cut off all funds to Israel until it stopped new settlements and at least disbanded the outposts. Of course, nobody here has the political will for that either.
