Israel is committing “apartheid” against Palestinians, and states including the United Kingdom must reassess their relationship to the country, Amnesty International has said, becoming the latest rights group to accuse Israel of the crime against humanity.
The Israeli foreign ministry vehemently rejected Amnesty’s 211-page report, saying it was “false, biased and antisemitic”. The country’s foreign minister Yair Lapid accused the human rights group of quoting “lies spread by terrorist organisations” and being a “radical organisation which echoes propaganda”.
