I specifically thank Ms Al Tamimi for coming in. It is not easy to talk about things that are impacting your family and loved ones in this kind of setting. I am sure it can be quite emotional and exhausting, so I thank her.

The ICJ last year found that Israel’s legislation and measures impose and serve to maintain a near complete separation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem between settler and Palestinian communities. It talked about this leading to racial segregation - apartheid. We received an input from Dr. Reynolds and Professor John Dugard, who was a former UN special rapporteur on Palestine and a judge at the ICJ at one stage as well. Could Dr. Reynolds speak about this specifically and its implications?
