The nongovernmental organization Human Rights Watch accused the Israeli government of committing crimes of apartheid and persecution against Palestinians in a report published Tuesday, prompting backlash from officials.
“Prominent voices have warned for years that apartheid lurks just around the corner if the trajectory of Israel’s rule over Palestinians does not change,” Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, said.
The 213-page report details how Israeli authorities have already turned that corner and today, according to Roth, and that a threshold into a crime against humanity has already been crossed.
