|Upon concluding his meeting with Druze MKs outraged by the nation-state Law, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that “a plan will be formulated that will express the deep commitment of the State of Israel to the Druze community.”
The Prime Minister’s Office says Netanyahu will meet with dignitaries in the Druze community, including by Sheikh Mawafak Tarif.
The PMO says the meeting was “pragmatic and postive.”
The meeting was held at the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv with ministers Yariv Levin, Moshe Kahlon, Avigdor Liberman, and Ayoub Kara, the sole Druze member of the cabinet. They were joined by Druze MKs Akram Hasson (Kulanu) and Hamad Amar (Yisrael Beytenu).
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.
