answer text <p>The issue of jurisdiction over the crime of apartheid is a matter for an appropriate international judicial body. The government believes that the use of the apartheid terminology hardens positions on both sides. We encourage direct engagement between the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Our priority remains support for a two-state solution.</p> more like this
