”Sheikh Abdul Haneen Abubakar explained the establishment of Israel on Palestinian soil. The United Nations Divided Palestine into Jewish and Palestinian Arab States, Israel gradually confiscated the Land of the Palestinians and thus expanded their occupation territory Israel is an Apartheid state because it does not respect International Law. It has 28 violations of International Law. Israel's settlement is Illegal, Israel's taking of Palestinian land is illegal, Israel is practising ethnic cleansing, and Israel is an apartheid state which is also illegal. These are just but a few examples.
All these raise the question, why does Israel not respect international Laws? Scholars say it is because of the power imbalances in the Security Council.
