Netanyahu meeting with Druze lawmakers insulted by nation-state Law
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with Druze lawmakers who have criticized as discriminatory the nation-state law passed last week.
The meeting is being held at the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv.
In attendance are ministers Yariv Levin, Moshe Kahlon, Avigdor Liberman, and Ayoub Kara, the sole Druze member of the cabinet. They are joined by Druze MKs Akram Hasson and Hamad Amar.
Salah Sa’ad of the opposition Labor party, who along with Hasson and Amar petitioned the High Court of Justice against the Jewish nation-state legislation, was not present.
Netanyahu is not expected to amend the law, though he is said to be open to other measures aimed at improving conditions for Israel’s Druze citizens.
