Who are Israeli Arabs, who denounce a second-class citizenship treatment by Israel’s society?
While violence keeps escalating between Israel and Gaza, Israeli government has been concerned over erupting clashes between the country’s Arabs and Jewish communities in mixed cities, with some of the worst communal violence in decades. Throughout the years, Israeli Arabs have been overlooked both in Israel and abroad.

PM Netanyahu: Dear Arab citizens of Israel--take part in our society in droves
Dear Arab citizens of Israel, Muwatinuna al arab al aezaa,
Before my election, I said Arabs voters were going to the polls in droves.
I was referring to a specific political party but many people were understandably offended. I apologized for how my comment was misunderstood.
But today I want to go further.
Today I am asking Arab citizens in Israel to take part in our society—in droves. Work in droves, study in droves, thrive in droves.
Israel is strong because of our diversity and pluralism—not in spite of it.
Over 20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs. And you have achieved incredible heights: Supreme Court justices, members of parliament, renowned authors, entrepreneurs, high tech business-owners, doctors, pharmacists.
I am proud of the role Arabs play in Israel's success.
I want you ...

‘They Came Here to Attack Arabs.’ Welcome to Life in Israel’s ‘Mixed Cities’
“Inside Israel, we are Palestinians too.”
When solidarity protests erupted across the country in May, a Palestinian resident in the city of Lydd (or Lod, as Israel renamed it) told AJ+ that local Jewish Israelis marked their homes with red paint so they could be targeted for attacks by armed settlers.
This is part of a much larger project happening in Lydd, where ultranationalist Jewish Israelis have been moving into the city for over a decade with resources and support from the state. The group is called the Garin Torani, or “Torah Seeds,” and its goal is to create a Jewish majority in Arab-majority neighborhoods. Residents we spoke with say that while the city has welcomed these Jewish settlers, it has also ignored the basic needs of Palestinian citizens.
In the aftermath of r...

Arabs in Israel fear consequences for speaking out about Israel-Hamas war
Some Arab citizens of Israel say they are not speaking out or posting on social media about the Israel-Hamas war out of fear of retaliation for their comments. Josh Lederman reports on the tense situation in Israel, where human rights groups say hundreds of Arabs have been fired, suspended from universities, and even arrested for being accused of sympathizing with terror or supporting Hamas.

Israel's unwanted citizens
Palestinian citizens of Israel are complaining about a string of policies, which they say are designed to drive them out of Israel.
First, a bill requiring them to pledge allegiance to a Jewish state was passed by the Israeli cabinet.
Now the Knesset is debating whether to stop Arab Israelis from living in cities where there's a Jewish majority.
So who are Palestinian-Israelis and how did they become citizens of a state that doesn't want them?
Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports.

Dear Arab citizens of Israel, Muwatinuna al arab al aezaa,
Before my election, I said Arabs voters were going to the polls in droves.
I was referring to a specific political party but many people were understandably offended. I apologized for how my comment was misunderstood.
But today I want to go further.
Today I am asking Arab citizens in Israel to take part in our society—in droves. Work in droves, study in droves, thrive in droves.
Israel is strong because of our diversity and pluralism—not in spite of it.
Over 20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs. And you have achieved incredible heights: Supreme Court justices, members of parliament, renowned authors, entrepreneurs, high tech business-owners, doctors, pharmacists.
I am proud of the role Arabs play in Israel's success.
I want you to play an even greater role in it.
Now, respecting minorities isn't just the right thing to do—it's critical to our progress.
But talking about equality of opportunity – that's not enough.
Action is what matters.
My government recently passed a resolution to invest massive resources in Arab communities.
Arab communities are receiving unprecedented support for public infrastructure, for transportation, for employment, for welfare, for so many other things.
And the reason for this is simple. Because your future is our future.
Yet significant gaps remain.
I will never forget the conversation I had in a Knesset committee with a young Muslim woman. Her husband and sons were gunned down in an Arab town. She was shaking. She begged me, she said, "Prime Minister, please increase law and order in the community where I live."
And this is exactly what we're doing.
Yesterday, the government approved legislation that would significantly strengthen public safety for Arab towns and villages. They're yearning to be free from a life of crime and violence.
My vision is that young Arab boys and girls grow up knowing they can achieve anything in Israel as valued and equal citizens in our democracy.
Today I ask you all to join me in this effort.
Now, each of us has a role to play.
Jews and Arabs should reach out to each other, get to know each other's families.
Listen to each other.
Jews and Arabs should treat one another with the same dignity and respect you'd want for your own family.
Our land is too small, it's too precious to fill it with discord and hate.
Let us work together, Arabs and Jews alike, to reach ever higher in the noble pursuit of equality and dignity for all.
This is my vision and I'm sure it's yours too.

“Inside Israel, we are Palestinians too.”
When solidarity protests erupted across the country in May, a Palestinian resident in the city of Lydd (or Lod, as Israel renamed it) told AJ+ that local Jewish Israelis marked their homes with red paint so they could be targeted for attacks by armed settlers.
This is part of a much larger project happening in Lydd, where ultranationalist Jewish Israelis have been moving into the city for over a decade with resources and support from the state. The group is called the Garin Torani, or “Torah Seeds,” and its goal is to create a Jewish majority in Arab-majority neighborhoods. Residents we spoke with say that while the city has welcomed these Jewish settlers, it has also ignored the basic needs of Palestinian citizens.
In the aftermath of recent violence that left two people dead, one Jewish and the other Palestinian, new levels of mistrust and generational trauma are haunting these residents.
AJ+ went to Lydd to find out how Palestinians with Israeli citizenship are challenging the country’s de facto policy of divide and rule while demanding freedom from colonial oppression.

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Today is Day 137 of the war. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode in our Jerusalem offices.
The United Nations Security Council has scheduled a vote at 10 a.m. local time in New York (5 p.m. in Israel) for a resolution pushed by Arab nations demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the United States has proposed a rival draft of the resolution that would underscore the body’s “support for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as practicable, based on the formula of all hostages being released.” Horovitz delves into the nuance behind uses of the term "ceasefire" by world leaders.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid submitted a new version of a draft law under which those who evade military or civil service will no longer be eligible for state funding. While there are signs that even members of the coalition are against the current legislation lengthening IDF regular and reserve service, will this new bill move forward?
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara reportedly cautioned against a proposal by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to impose age limitations on Arab Israelis who wish to pray at the Al-Aqsa compound atop the Temple Mount during Ramadan, saying that such a step would likely face legal obstacles. Horovitz speculates on rumors that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also on board with restricting Arab citizens' freedom of worship.
On Monday, the IDF released what it said was recently discovered footage showing mother Shiri Bibas and her two very young red-headed children surrounded by gunmen in the Gaza Strip hours after they were abducted by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7. Horovitz tells us what we know of the family's fate.

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Today is Day 137 of the war. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode in our Jerusalem offices.
The United Nations Security Council has scheduled a vote at 10 a.m. local time in New York (5 p.m. in Israel) for a resolution pushed by Arab nations demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the United States has proposed a rival draft of the resolution that would underscore the body’s “support for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as practicable, based on the formula of all hostages being released.” Horovitz delves into the nuance behind uses of the term "ceasefire" by world leaders.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid submitted a new version of a draft law under which those who evade military or civil service will no longer be eligible for state funding. While there are signs that even members of the coalition are against the current legislation lengthening IDF regular and reserve service, will this new bill move forward?
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara reportedly cautioned against a proposal by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to impose age limitations on Arab Israelis who wish to pray at the Al-Aqsa compound atop the Temple Mount during Ramadan, saying that such a step would likely face legal obstacles. Horovitz speculates on rumors that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also on board with restricting Arab citizens' freedom of worship.
On Monday, the IDF released what it said was recently discovered footage showing mother Shiri Bibas and her two very young red-headed children surrounded by gunmen in the Gaza Strip hours after they were abducted by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7. Horovitz tells us what we know of the family's fate.

Palestinian citizens of Israel are complaining about a string of policies, which they say are designed to drive them out of Israel.
First, a bill requiring them to pledge allegiance to a Jewish state was passed by the Israeli cabinet.
Now the Knesset is debating whether to stop Arab Israelis from living in cities where there's a Jewish majority.
So who are Palestinian-Israelis and how did they become citizens of a state that doesn't want them?
Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports.
