The United Nations said on Wednesday that decades of discrimination and segregation of Palestinians in the West Bank by Israel were intensifying and creating a kind of “apartheid system”.

Rights chief Volker Turk said there was “a systematic asphyxiation of the rights of Palestinians in the West Bank”, creating a “particularly severe form of racial discrimination and segregation, that resembles the kind of apartheid system we have seen before”.
