A group of 50 human rights experts at the United Nations have condemned Israel’s plan to annex 30% of the occupied West Bank, describing it as a “vision of a 21st-century apartheid.” This comes just days after a group of more than 400 Jewish and Israel studies academics denounced the annexation. In a letter, the academics write, “Under these conditions, annexation of Palestinian territories will cement into place an anti-democratic system of separate and unequal law and systemic discrimination against the Palestinian population.”
