A UN rights expert has accused Israel of enforcing apartheid in a landmark report that has prompted fresh calls for the British government to cease trade with illegal settlements.
The damning report by the UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Michael Lynk, was submitted to the Human Rights Council earlier this week.
“With the eyes of the international community wide open, Israel has imposed upon Palestine an apartheid reality in a post-apartheid world,” he declares.
