Israel "apartheid" crimes
A prominent international rights group says Israel’s persecution of Palestinians amounts to crimes against humanity and crimes of apartheid. Human Rights Watch says examples of Israel’s apartheid policies are its restrictions on Palestinians’ movement and the seizure of their land for illegal settlements. The rights group has called on the International Criminal Court to investigate and prosecute Israeli officials over persecution of Palestinians. Several weeks ago, the court said it would investigate war crimes against the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Iran nuclear deal
Iran and the remaining parties to the 2015 nuclear deal are set to resume negotiations in Vienna to revive the troubled accord. Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is leading Iran’s delegation in discussions with France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China. The diplomatic effort began in early April and is being coordinated by the European Union. All sides have described as constrictive their previous meetings. The talks are aimed at making practical arrangements required for the US return to the nuclear deal. Iran wants all sanctions imposed by the US after its 2018 withdrawal to be removed at once. Araqchi has warned that Iran will walk out of the talks if it finds them long-drawn-out.
