It was reported in THE TIMES yesterday that the foreign secretary of Britain, Boris Johnson, said that Israeli failure to allow a two-state solution of the Israel/Palestine problem will result in an apartheid state of Israel. Speaking to a reporter of the Jerusalem Post, Johnson invited a comparison of the Israeli treatment of Palestinians to South Africa under white rule. Johnson said: "What we are saying is that you have to have a two-state solution or else you have a kind of apartheid system. You have to go for a two-state approach." (page 25)
The Israelis have been told this for decades but do not care to heed the obvious. THE TIMES reminded its readers that: "David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, who said in 1967 after the Six Day War that unless Israel managed to rid itself of the territories and their Arab population as soon as possible it would become an apartheid state."

The Israelis were given the same message by the Americans secretly in 2014 by John Kerry to no effect yet it is the USA which provides political cover for Israel at the UN. Only when the Americans stop defending Israeli policy will the rest of the world be able to act.
