Under the Rome Statute that set up the international criminal court, apartheid is defined as a crime where:

>inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them".

Netanyahu's approach to the Palestinians likely fits into this definition.

Indeed that understanding is corroborated by several human rights organizations, like HRW and Amnesty international:
