“Israel does not aim to end this occupation. . . We believe the confrontation will continue indefinitely. “
The United Nations Commission of Inquiry (IOC) into rights violations in Israel and the Palestinian territories said on Thursday it would investigate accusations of apartheid against the Jewish state.
Created through the Human Rights Council following the 11-day war between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas organization in May 2021, the current UN commission released its report for the moment last week, accusing Israel of breaking the law and calling on the UN Security Council to end the “permanent occupation. “
At the 77th consultation of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the IOC presents its latest report.
Its three members showed that long-term reports would read about apartheid in Israel, saying the investigation had focused so much on the “root causes” of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation, which they attributed to Israel’s presence in the West Bank.
In its 28-page report, the IOC accused Israel of violating foreign laws by making permanent its rule over the West Bank and annexing land claimed by Palestinians and Syrians.
Commission chairwoman and former UN human rights leader Navi Pillay apartheid, a “demonstration of occupation. “
“Israel does not aim to end this occupation and therefore, if it is addressed through the foreign community, we are concerned that the confrontation will continue indefinitely,” he insisted.
In response, Israel’s UN envoy, Gilad Erdan, condemned the report, calling Pillay, his and their report “anti-Semitic. “
“[The commissioners] were selected because they abhor the Jewish state,” Erdan said.
