Over the course of the Arab–Israeli conflict,the country's authority has been questioned on a number of fronts. Critics of Israel may be motivated by their opposition to the country's right to exist or,since the 1967 Arab–Israeli War,their disapproval of the established power structure within the Israeli-occupied territories. Increasingly,Israel has been accused of apartheid. Israel regards such criticism as an attempt to de-legitimize it.
