The United Nations (UN) Amnesty International said that the UN Rapporteur on human rights in occupied Palestinian territories, Michael Lynk, submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), in which he concluded that the situation in the occupied Palestine “amounts to the level of apartheid.”

According to the summary published by Amnesty International on its website, of the UN report, which is expected to be officially announced next May.

The report revealed that the Israeli-Jews and the Palestinians live under one system that distinguishes its distribution of rights and benefits on the basis of national and ethnic identity, and guarantees the sovereignty of one group.” at the expense of others.

The report highlights how Israel “grants one ethnonational group great rights, privileges    while another group is deliberately subjected to living behind walls and checkpoints and under permanent military rule.”

Amnesty International called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to look into the crime of apartheid in the Palestinian territories.
