Amid Druze outcry, Netanyahu calls meeting to reexamine nation-state law
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn a surprise move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will convene a discussion at the Prime Minister’s Office about the possibility of amending the Jewish nation-state law amid a fierce outcry against the law by the Druze minority.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, Communications Minister Ayoub Kara — the sole Druze minister in the current cabinet — and several Druze lawmakers will all take part in the meeting.
The move comes after Education Minister Naftali Bennett earlier today vowed to work to “heal the wound” the law has inflicted on the Druze community.
Sources close to Bennett have suggested the Jewish Home leader is open to amending the nation-state law.
