By Amin Zaher By chance, I came across a new political party that I had not known about before, which was registered about three years ago.The party’s name is “All Its Citizens” , a name that, in my understanding, carries a strong, sharp, and clear message to both the Arab and Jewish peoples. The phrase “All Its Citizens” took me back to my time as Assistant Minister of Construction and Housing in 1996, and to the Ka’adan family’s petition to the High Court of Justice (HCJ) 6

The spirit of the bill raises concern that gender segregation could extend to other areas of campuses, not only classrooms. According to the proposal, segregation could also be permitted in cafeterias, laboratories, corridors,

By Dr. Bashir Karkabi On Friday, January 23, 2026, an advertisement was published in Haaretz  calling for the establishment of a Jewish–Arab party. Hundreds of Jews and Arabs signed the ad, including the writer of these lines. Within hours of its publication, criticism of the ad’s content began to be heard, some of it angry. Before addressing these criticisms, I will try to present the rationale underlying this initiative. The Joint List Can Lead a Proper Educational Vision i

By: Mohammad yehia כאשר הקושי מתגבר – תבוא הישועה, בעזרת ה'. הייתה נוכחות בולטת והשתתפות רחבה מכל גווני החברה, ערבים ויהודים כאחד, מתוך סולידריות ומחויבות למאבק הזה. אין ספק שהוא חייב להימשך בנחישות, עד שיתורגם בשטח לשינוי מהותי, או לפחות לקול חזק בקלפיות בבחירות הקרובות. אם זכויות נלקחות בכוח, הרי שחיי אדם וכבודו, ביטחונו וביטחון קהילה שלמה – יושגו רק במאמץ ובהתמדה, עד להחלפת הממשלה, ולאחר מכן גם לשינוי מדיניותה של הממשלה הבאה. הנוכחות הבולטת של שותפים מהחברה היהודית בהפגנה

By: Tamim Abu Khait About 100,000 demonstrators took part in the “Great Black Flags” march against violence and crime in the city of Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, arriving from all parts of the country. The protest clearly featured the participation of Arab women, Arab youth, and progressive Jewish forces supporting the struggle of Arab society, to the extent that it can be said the demonstration was, in fact, an Arab-Jewish protest. The march in Tel Aviv began at the cultura

Recently, a graduation ceremony was held for the third cohort of the Women’s Leadership Course in the Negev, organized by the Itach–Ma’aki Association, in partnership with the European Union and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. This was not just another course or another event, but an additional serious step in advancing Bedouin women and strengthening their status and role in leading society in the Negev and in Arab society in general. This course is considered a significant

By: Jihan Haidar Hasan he female voice can have a profound impact on movements of protest and change. One of the most prominent examples in modern history is Rosa Parks, a courageous African American woman who broke norms that allowed injustice to thrive. Moreover, deep change does not occur without women, because global research and experience have shown that community-change processes led by women tend to last longer, whereas solutions based solely on enforcement eventuall

By: Attorney Hanan Al-Sanea We were moved this week by the image of the signing ceremony of a joint list of all the Arab parties. Indeed, it contained a great deal of hope – the recognition of rampant crime as an existential threat that requires political responsibility and unity of forces. Yet alongside this hope, a strong sense of disappointment also arose, due to the complete absence of women from the event. And this is a recurring pattern – the Peace Council, the Peace C

During the tour organized by the “All Its Citizens” Party in the unrecognized villages in the Negev, Dr. Warda Sada , the party’s co-chair, said:   “The pain is very hard. How can one understand the existence of such a reality in a state that is considered enlightened, that claims to strengthen education and support populations, but in practice none of this exists? What exists here is not a planning failure. This is an ongoing, continuous policy.   Even the most basic things

By: Tamim Abu Khait On the initiative and under the organization of the “All Its Citizens” Party, two buses carrying citizens from all over the country arrived in the Negev yesterday, accompanied by many party members, for a guided solidarity tour of the unrecognized villages in the Negev.

By: Jihan Haider Hasan Recently, an idea has resurfaced—one that comes up from time to time both worldwide and in Israel—to lower the voting age from 18 to 17. The idea touches on questions of democracy, citizenship, education, and practical politics. Among other things, it aims to expand democratic participation by allowing young people to take part in decisions that affect their lives on issues such as education, cost of living, security, climate, and public transportation.

By: Tamim Abu Khait The current situation: After the pressure exerted by Arab society following the worsening crime crisis, and after the impact of the Gaza war on Arab society—emotionally, politically, and in everyday life, through policing practices and the relative deterioration of relations with Jewish society—the components of the Joint List held two official meetings, in addition to a series of bilateral meetings and consultations, to discuss the possibility of re-esta

By: Dr. Warda Sada After a conversation with a highly professional sports coach, I found myself rethinking the relationship between education, civic behavior, and democracy. This person treats all club members with great respect—without discrimination based on religious affiliation, nationality, or gender. His daily conduct is characterized by fairness, attentiveness, and equal respect. I was therefore surprised by his right-wing political views, which I often perceive as ext

The delegation expressed deep shock at the serious crime committed by settlers, and conveyed full solidarity and support for the local residents. Members o

This is the reality. Between a visit to Trump and a tour of Tarabin al-Sana, amid a routine of war and crime in Arab society. Everything is permissible, everything is for sale. T
