UK MP Calls Israel's Treatment of Palestinians 'Apartheid Regime'
UK Member of Parliament Andrew George characterized Israel's governance of the Occupied Palestinian Territories as an 'apartheid regime' and 'collective punishment' following a visit to the region last year, according to remarks delivered on the TRT World program 'Bigger Than Five.' George called on the UK government to increase pressure on Israeli leadership to halt what he described as 'atrocities' and 'killing.' The characterization reflects growing international political rhetoric regarding Palestinian conditions, with the apartheid framing increasingly adopted by left-leaning Western politicians and human rights organizations.
