Notice To The Public As part of the efforts of the Kol Ezracheha  (“All Its Citizens”) Party to unite forces in order to replace the far-right government in the upcoming elections, and to establish the principle of Jewish-Arab partnership and equal rights for all citizens of the state, an agreement was signed for the Beyachad Natzliach  (“Together We Will Succeed”) Party, led by Avi Shaked, to join the two parties: the Kol Ezracheha  Party and the Arab National Party. This ag

By: Warda Sada This popular proverb sums up a simple and frightening truth: whoever possesses power and finds no one to restrain them will continue their actions without limits, leaving behind immeasurable destruction. When I think about U.S. foreign policy, this truth appears before me without disguise. Iraq, for me, is not merely a country on the map, but an experience I lived through and followed closely. I was shocked by what happened to it, but I know Iraq was not the be

By: Dr. Warda Sada It is impossible to understand what Venezuela is experiencing today—or the way Nicolás Maduro is portrayed in Western discourse—outside the broader context of global politics built on double standards. The issue is not Maduro as an individual, nor merely the nature of his regime, but the international system itself: how it defines legitimacy, who holds the right to punish, and who is exempt from accountability. Nicolás Maduro is not a liberal democratic mod

By: Jihan Haider Hasan The Arab sector in Israel suffers from many problems, including poverty, violence, and housing shortages. Given the fact that there are ten Knesset members from parties representing Arabs in the Knesset—slightly less than 10%—alongside respectable representation of the Arab sector in local councils in every Arab and mixed city, it would have been expected that Arabs would have a clear address for addressing these problems, and that their elected offici

oday, a mass protest took place in the Negev following the violent attack carried out by Ben-Gvir’s police against the village of Tarabin al-Saʿana in the Negev, and its takeover by force involving more than 300 police officers from various units. During the attack, innocent residents were assaulted and dozens were arrested, even though not a single detainee was a criminal or involved in the incident of vehicle arson. The purpose of the attack was nothing more than a show of

By: Mohamad Yahia The state is approaching its eightieth year, yet the melting pot has not forged a unified Israeli identity. The process of refinement has not worked either. Three generations. Two peoples. One state—unequal and discriminatory treatment. Between a partial democracy in retreat and the struggle against a regime coup, let the “lesser good” now realize its power.Arab society—more than two million native-born citizens—and their partners within Jewish society are

By: Dr. Warda Sada In Israel, people like to talk about a “crisis of motivation for conscription,” but they avoid acknowledging the simple truth: this is not a crisis of young people—it is a crisis of the state. Young women and men are not refraining from enlistment because they are indifferent or spoiled, but because they live in a society that asks them to sacrifice everything while struggling to guarantee basic equality, responsibility, and transparency. Over the years, co

By: Tamim Abu Khait Mohammad Bakri—the artist, actor, director, and politician—passed away yesterday in the village of Bi‘ina in the Galilee, after heart disease overcame him, even though the official Israeli machinery of repression and discrimination never succeeded in breaking him. Those who wanted his art not to convey the painful and bitter truth pursued him, and pursued one of his films for nearly twenty years until it was banned—blatantly trampling the principles of dem

The choice to focus on life itself—on the lives of all the groups living here—strengthens t

By: Dr. Warda Sada On citizenship, identity, and the line at which Israeli democracy is tested Public discourse in Israel tends to frame the exclusion of Arab elected officials as a security, moral, or ideological stance. In reality, this is a far deeper question: Is democracy in Israel based on equal citizenship—or on a preferred ethnic identity? The demand by some elected officials that only those who define themselves as “Zionist” may be partners in government imposes an i

We in the “All Its Citizens” Party  uphold the principles of Jewish–Arab partnership and full equality among all citizens of the state. We welcome any position and any call of this kind coming from any political or civic actor in the country that contributes to this struggle. Accordingly, this post by Knesset Member Naama Lazimi, published on her Facebook page, makes a meaningful contribution to this effort. From the Facebook page of Knesset Member Naama Lazimi: I am followin

As part of the efforts by the “All Its Citizens” Party to unite forces in order to replace the far-right government in the upcoming elections, and to entrench the principle of Jewish–Arab partnership and equality of rights among all citizens of the state, the signing of a cooperation and force-unification document between the “All Its Citizens” Party and the “Arab National Party” was approved in recent days, with the hope of expanding this trend in the future to include addit

By: Muhammad Yahya Who will ensure that there will be an objective, professional committee when the people being investigated choose the investigators who will investigate them? The controversy over the establishment of a state investigation committee to examine the events of October 7 is sparking political discourse and legal debate from the home of the revolutionary government, which is leaving no stone unturned to stoke the flames of the coup d'état. State or government, i

By: Warda Saada On the necessary tension between grassroots civic actionand leadership that dares to act from above In societies that are divided, wounded by trauma and fear, change is not a natural process. It does not happen “when the time ripens,” nor is it born of goodwill alone. It is the result of a dynamic—and at times tense—encounter between two forces: a grassroots civic movement from below and political leadership from above. When one is missing, change stalls. Whe

The "All Its Citizens" party sends its warmest congratulations to Kfar Yasif, the local council, the head of the council and its members, and all residents of the settlement - on the occasion of the centennial of the establishment of the local council. A hundred years of municipal activity, educational contribution and cultural presence, which have made Kfar Yasif a living model of multiculturalism, education and art as unifying values. Kfar Yasif has also become an example a

Two days ago, young Jews belonging to the so-called Yesterday, Jaffa residents held a protest vigil against the incident. And what did the police do? They claimed that it was a “dispute over a parking space” and called on everyone to remain calm. At the same time, the police arrested 14 Arab citizens among the demonstrators, while none of the young Jews who carried out the attack itself were arrested – despite the fact that there is photographic documentation and photos of th

The "All Citizens" party strongly condemns the deadly attack on the Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, which claimed the lives of 12 people and injured dozens. This is a terrorist attack against innocent citizens, which cannot be accepted or justified in any way. At the same time, it must be recognized that global outrage over Israeli policies in Palestine – from demolitions and isolation to clashes in the West Bank and Gaza – is a sign of the urgent need for justice and peace.

By: Warda Saada There is a large group in this country that continues to speak in the name of moderation, responsibility, and love of the state — yet insists on not looking at what is actually happening within it. A group that declares its commitment to democracy, but struggles to say a basic truth out loud: a state that does not belong to all its citizens, and that does not see all human beings living under its control, is not a substantive democracy. While Arab society in I

By: Muhammad Yahya Minister Smotrich's decision to approve the establishment of 19 new settlements in the occupied territories only adds fuel to the fire of the conflict that continues to rage without a solution and a political horizon. Among the settlements that will be rebuilt are Ganim Vekid, which was evacuated in the northern West Bank twenty years ago. The rest of the settlements - some are old and some are completely new. Instead, the Minister of Finance will focus and

By: Jihan Haidar Hassan On December 9, 2025, a severe and unprecedented shooting occurred in Shefa-Amr: in the morning hours, gunfire was directed at a minibus transporting children with special needs on their way to school. By sheer luck and divine mercy, no lives were lost, though the vehicle was damaged, and the incident left the children—a particularly sensitive and vulnerable population—in profound shock. Witnesses described the event as one of the most serious ever to t
