Human Rights Watch Blames Israel Of Apartheid Crimes Against Palestinians

Human Rights Watch has accused the Israeli government of persecuting Palestinians and blamed them for pursuing apartheid-driven policies. The 213-page report criticized Israel's forceful operation on Palestinian-owned territory by laying excessive 'control over demographics.' While Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stood by the report, the Israel Foreign Ministry termed it ‘preposterous and false.' Earlier, International Criminal Court (ICC) ordered an investigation in Israeli-occupied areas West Bank and Gaza Strip.
