State prosecutor criticizes Jewish state law, calls for upholding of minority rights
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleState Prosecutor Shai Nitzan publicly criticizes the nation-state law, joining opposition to the law over concerns it will sanction discrimination toward the country’s non-Jews.
At an event for outgoing Supreme Court justice Uri Shaham, Nitzan warned the law could curtail the rights of minorities in Israel.
“I hope that Israeli society will be able to find a way to allow [them] to feel they have equal rights, to strive to improve their status, and to allow them to… find some rest, some peace,” he says.
