A new United Nations report accuses Israel of severe racial discrimination and segregation against Palestinians. The UN says this amounts to "apartheid" in the occupied West Bank.
The report, released Wednesday, covers decades of Israeli policy. It claims these practices violate international law.
The UN human rights office called for Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territory. It described Israel's presence there as "unlawful."
Israel has not yet formally responded to the report's findings. The term "apartheid" refers to a system of enforced racial segregation.
