Israel: Amnesty International accuses the Jewish state of apartheid

An Israeli army bulldozer destroys a Palestinian home in East Jerusalem. The images date from August 2021 and are one example among others on which the NGO Amnesty International relied. In a damning report, she denounces with very harsh words the policy of the Jewish state towards the Palestinians. The term “apartheid” is cited by its authors.

“Amnesty International is here today to call on the Israeli authorities to end the system of apartheid it maintains against all Palestinians living under their effective control”explains Agnès SquidSecretary General of Amnesty International. A report and remarks condemned very quickly and very firmly by the Israeli authorities. “Instead of seeking the truth, Amnesty International echoes the same lies shared by terrorist organisations”comments Yair LapidIsraeli Minister of Foreign Affairs.
