Israeli rule in the West Bank resembles an apartheid regime

Benny Morris, an expert on the Arab-Israeli conflict, discusses the issue of Israeli rule in the West Bank. While Israel itself is a democracy with equal rights for its citizens, the situation in the West Bank, where Israel has occupied and ruled for over 50 years, is similar to an apartheid regime. Palestinians in the West Bank do not enjoy the same rights as Israelis and live under a different judicial system. This situation, according to Morris, is not based on race like in South Africa, but on the clash of nationalisms. He also mentions that some Israeli ministers responsible for West Bank policies hold racist views. Although Morris does not believe that Israel is an apartheid state, he acknowledges that the regime in the West Bank exhibits apartheid-like characteristics.
