      Not on its own, no. The UN is composed of members, and its personnel can come from anywhere and be of any opinion.

      There is no such thing as a single perfectly reliable source. The UN is better than most, but its still composed of people.

      This, however, is:

      and former Israeli Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair – have also all called this apartheid

      A former Israeli AG can be presumed to be both knowledgeable, and have a pro-Israeli bias, so if they are being critical of Israel then that is very credible. Several other cited sources are credible as well. Thank you for sharing that.
