UN Anti-Racism Panel To Investigate Israeli Actions In West Bank, Gaza

The UN is launching an investigation into whether Israel is promoting apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories, following a complaint by the Palestinian Authority. This marks the first time a member has lodged a report against another under the UN's antiracism convention. Despite Israel not recognizing the Palestinian Authority's membership, the UN has decided to proceed with the complaint. The International Criminal Court is also investigating alleged war crimes by Israel and Hamas during the 2014 Gaza offensive, although Israel does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction.
