Part I: The Impact of the Israel-Hamas War on the Arab-Palestinian Community in Israel and Implications for Shared Society

Zoom Webinar

Arab-Palestinians make up 21% of Israel’s population. The events of October 7 and the Israel-Hamas War have had a unique impact on Arab-Palestinian communities across Israel, and have posed challenges for envisioning shared society. Even as Arab citizens have suffered alongside their Jewish counterparts, they have experienced distinct forms of discrimination from Israeli authorities and segments of the Israeli population, questioning their loyalties and denying their basic rights under the law. This two-part series examines Arab-Palestinian experiences in wartime Israel from legal, social, political, and educational perspectives.

Part I: A Legal Perspective 

Legal scholar Manal Totry-Jubran (Bar Ilan University) joins Masua Sagiv to speak about the impact of the war on Arab communities in Israel, exploring issues of discrimination, rights, and remedies, and implications for the future of shared society.
