Apartheid - a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race.
No such policy exists in Israel. Any Israeli citizen, regardless of religion, gender, sexuality, or race can go to the beach, own a business, own a home, run for elected office, become a supreme court judge, etc. Non-Jewish Israelis (Palestinians, Druze, Christians, etc.) have served as Ministers in government, Hospital Directors, Ambassadors, Army Officers among other positions.
There is only one exception - No Temple Mount access for JEWS.
A Jew can be arrested, detained, or fined for whispering a prayer on the temple mount.
In the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority it is a law in the books that selling your home, farm, acreage (for any amount of money) is a capital crime - death without trail.

Therein lies the problem.
It is impossible for a Palestinian from the West Bank or Gaza to become an Israeli citizen.
Yes, the way the system is currently designed, based on your definition is absolutely an apartheid.
