Foreign Minister Yair Lapid warns that Israel will face intense pressure in 2022 over accusations that it is an “apartheid state”.

A letter written to Michael, my friend of many years. He has always been critical of Israel and my letter is in response to articles he sent me a few years back, from The Guardian in which he points out quotes from Illan Pappe and Noam Chomsky, whom he characterises as Jews critical of Israel.
