Israel and the apartheid analogy
There is marriage law, a West Bank barrier, the usage of Palestinians for cheaper labour, the Palestinian West Bank exclaves, inequities in infrastructure, legal rights e.g. "Enclave law", & disparities of access to land in addition to resources between Palestinians and Israeli settlers. it is for argued that, like South Africa, Israel may be classified as a settler colonial society, in violation of international law.
The analogy has been debated by some scholars and lawyers, United Nations investigators, the African National Congress ANC, human rights groups and by several Israeli former politicians. Israel, its supporters, and some scholars reject the comparison. Critics of the analogy argue that the comparison is factually and morally inaccurate and returned to delegitimize Israel itself. Opponents of the analogy reject the comparison of Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip with apartheid South Africa, arguing that as the two territories are not part of sovereign Israel and governed by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas government in Gaza, they cannot be compared to the internal policies of apartheid South Africa. Proponents compare the enclaves in the occupied territories to the Bantustans kind up within South Africa, which were also classified as "self-governing" or "independent".
In December 2019, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination determined that it has jurisdiction regarding the complaint provided by the State of Palestine against Israel for breaches of its obligations under the B'Tselem January 2021 issued separate reports that concluded, in the latter's words, "the bar for labeling the Israeli regime as apartheid has been met." In April 2021, de:Alon Liel, became the number one major international human rights body to claim Israel had crossed the threshold, after decades of warnings, and accused Israeli officials of the crimes of apartheid and persecution under international law, calling for an International Criminal Court investigation, becoming the number one major international rights NGO to have so. It was followed by Amnesty International, which issued a similar report on 1 February 2022. In its editorial of 8 June 2022, Israeli newspaper Haaretz claimed that the West Bank is under a regime of apartheid, citing the different legal and judicial systems for Jews and non-Jews in the same region.
Proponents of the analogy work thatlaws explicitly or implicitly discriminate on the basis of creed or race, in case privileging Jewish citizens and disadvantaging non-Jewish, and especially Arab, citizens of the state. These add the , enacted in 2018, was widely condemned in both Israel and internationally as discriminatory, and has also been compared by members of the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO, opposition MPs, and other Arab and Jewish Israelis, to an "apartheid law".
