"Ending the occupation of lands by Israel... remains essential in ending the persistent cycles of violence," they said in a report, decrying ample evidence that Israel has "no intention" of doing so. This, she said, was "an indicator of the asymmetrical nature of the conflict and the reality of one state occupying the other."
Israel has in the past loudly criticized Pillay for "championing an anti-Israel agenda," and on Tuesday the foreign ministry slammed the entire investigation as "a witch hunt." Echoing that sentiment, dozens of Israeli reserve soldiers and students—some of them dressed like Palestinian Hamas militants—marched Tuesday outside the UN headquarters in Geneva in protest.
