Foreign Policy names Arab MK one of 2015’s ‘100 global thinkers’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleForeign Policy magazine names Arab Israeli lawmaker Ayman Odeh, who heads the Joint List faction in the Knesset, as one of its 100 “leading global thinkers of 2015.”
“The 40-year-old lawyer heads the Joint List, a coalition of Arab political parties that united for the first time ever to run in Israel’s March elections…. Odeh yoked diverse leaders – Islamists, secular feminists, socialists – with a forthright argument that Arabs deserve the same rights as Jewish citizens…. Odeh is hoping to push Israeli leaders to fulfill the promises of their democracy and to reinvigorate Palestinians’ wilting faith in national politics,” the magazine explains.
