How does Israel’s occupation of Palestine work?
Al JazeeraWhy do some call it an ‘apartheid’ and what does the occupation look like in practice? A future in which two states live side by side in peace and security.” International law expert Paul Reichler, representing Palestine in the hearings, told the court that the policies of Israel’s government “are aligned to an unprecedented extent with the goals of the Israeli settler movement to expand long-term control over the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and in practice to further integrate those areas within the territory” of Israel. When Amnesty issued a report in 2022, its secretary general, Agnes Callamard, stated: “Whether they live in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, or Israel itself, Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group and systematically deprived of their rights.” The report found that policies of segregation, dispossession and exclusion across all the territories under its control “clearly amount to apartheid”. Most of the international community still considers East Jerusalem and the West Bank to be Palestinian territory illegally occupied by Isreal. Russia recognises West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and East Jerusalem as “the capital of the future Palestinian state”.
