By: Avraham Burg Between stereotypes and reality, Qatar emerges as a space where tradition and modernity do not clash, but rather combine to create a new regional model. Doha offers a global arena for dialogue, cultural confidence, and an open Islam—an alternative that challenges the familiar dichotomies of our era. It is not easy for an Israeli to reach Qatar these days. Not because of a complicated flight schedule, but because of the emotional baggage Israelis carry wheneve

By: Tamim Abu Khait I recently participated in the opening of an art exhibition by young women artists from the Arab community, on the theme of violence and crime, under the title “Embrace,”  held at the Tishreen Association’s cultural club in the city of Tayibe. The participating artists were: Dima Salah, Areen Kanana, Lian Sharqiya, Linda Taha, Nizam Abu ‘Eisheh, and Yamama Khaldi. Six artists presented contemporary plastic artworks in an attempt to reconstruct the concept

By: Warda Sa'ada The home demolitions in our Arab towns are not a “violation of the law”… but the result of a policy that prevents us, from the outset, from ever being able to receive the law. Every time we hear about a home demolished in Arab society, we are told that the reason is “unlicensed construction.” But the truth is simple: you cannot punish us for building permits we were never given the possibility to obtain. The planning and building crisis in our communities is

Avraham Burg, co-chair of the “All Its Citizens” party, responds in an interview with the Qatari channel Al Jazeera to questions that concern viewers across the Arab world. This is a translation of some of the questions and answers, while the full interview appears in the video below. How do you view the pardon request that Netanyahu submitted to President Herzog regarding the cases in which he is standing trial? – It’s insane. Because if you’re guilty — go to prison and pay

The Minister of Culture, Miki Zohar, has asked the Ministry of Finance to revoke public funding from the “Solidarity”  Festival! Why? Because the content of the festival’s films does not suit his taste or his political views! In his letter to Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the Minister of Culture claimed that in addition to public funding, the festival also receives support from “anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist” organizations, as he put it, listing several groups including: the Isr

A Pardon as a Conspiracy — The Public Isn’t Buying the Deal Granting the state relief from the burden of its government is the duty of the moment — not a tailor-made pardon designed to fit the accused who stands at its head. Public trust has already been damaged. The rule of law will suffer a severe blow, and a partial democracy, still in the making, will not be sufficient to complete its formation. A pardon that comes as a conspiracy is an assault on the law, on the judiciar

By: Mohamed Yahia The Arab community—over two million people, full citizens—does not need anyone’s legitimization. The very idea of disqualifying lists or candidates simply because they are not Jewish is inherently unacceptable, and the use of the term “legitimization” in this context is insulting and degrading. It is the state that needs legitimization in order to truly become a democratic state, a state for all its citizens without exception. Moreover, the majority of the I

After being approved in the Knesset by a majority of 11 members , Amendment No. 38 to the Pharmacists Ordinance — known as the “Pharmacy Technician Law”  — entered into force at the end of January this year. According to the provisions of the law, a pharmacy technician may be certified through a relatively short course , without a matriculation certificate, and be granted pharmacist-level authorities  after completing a theoretical course of 200 hours  and a 400-hour practica

By: Warda Sada The dispersal of cultural events is not unique to Jerusalem. Authoritarian and totalitarian regimes throughout history have acted in similar ways: Nazi Germany Canceled plays and books deemed “non-German,” and restricted cultural life according to the official ideology. The Soviet Union under Stalin Performances and musical events were removed if they did not align with party doctrine; artists who deviated were severely punished. China – The Cultural Revolution

The All Citizens Party  has warned in the past, and warns again today, about the continued spread of fascist ideas and practices that are on the verge of destroying democracy — a democracy that has already suffered multiple blows over the past three years. And now the Prime Minister is signaling his intention to outlaw an entire party represented by five members of the Knesset! The All Citizens Party  strongly condemns the Prime Minister’s statements, which carry the clear sc

By: Avraham Burg יIsrael of 2025 , once a quick and clever David, has turned into a heavy, armed giant who has lost his ability to discern, doubt, and be wise. A long journey from the spiritual Jew to the forceful Israeli has created a reality in which enormous power produces existential fear, and military greatness hides moral and strategic blindness. If you ran a public opinion poll in Israel and asked: “Who are you — David or Goliath?” I’m willing to bet that an overwhelmi

Today, 20/11/2025, a delegation from the leadership of the All Citizens Party conducted a visit to the headquarters of the Arab National Party in Sakhnin. The delegation of the All Citizens Party included Attorney Mohammad Ghaleb Yahya – the party’s Secretary General, Prof. Yair Lifshitz, Faisal Mahajneh, and Tamim Abukhait – members of the party’s General Council. They were received by former Member of Knesset Mohammad Hassan Kanaan, Chairman of the Arab National Party, alon

By: Tamim Abu Khait Events that interest no one in the Israeli establishment: During last night’s settler riots and attacks in the villages of Jaba  and Sa’ir , four homes  and five vehicles  were completely burned, in addition to injuries and severe damage to other homes and properties.In Sa’ir, settlers assaulted residents with clubs and sharp metal tools, injuring several women and causing extensive property damage.No one was arrested.

Alon Liel in an interview with Jacky Khoury on Al-Shams Radio: The Security Council's proposed resolution at the moment: Self-determination of the Palestinian people, meaning a path to a Palestinian state. Dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians that begins now. The full interview:

The Jaffa Theatre is launching a new play based on a true story: the shared journey of two bereaved fathers – one Israeli and one Palestinian – who, in an extraordinary and courageous way, transformed their personal grief into a force for reconciliation. The two went on to become the joint chairpersons of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum for Peace.The play is inspired by the sweeping novel by Irish-American author Colum McCann, who deeply researched the Israeli

Attorney Mohammad Ghaleb Yahya, the Secretary-General of the All Its Citizens Party, issued a statement congratulating former Knesset member Jamal Zahalka on his victory in the elections for the chairmanship of the Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel. In the statement, he calls on Zahalka to activate this important framework that unites our Arab community with full transparency, and to lead a real transformation and a qualitative leap through a broad general confe

By: Avraham Burg A system built on denial, violence, and indifference—from the attackers themselves to the public that prefers not to know—enables a corrupt settlement enterprise and the stripping of basic freedoms from Palestinians. It is a project of supremacy and dispossession, a testament to the rot consuming the Israeli soul. In the margins of the news it was reported: “The police and Shin Bet arrested a settler who was documented beating a 53-year-old Palestinian woman

"Fascism Will Not Pass — If We Confront It" Right-wing activists once again attacked MK Ayman Odeh  last night during a large Arab-Jewish home gathering  held in Pardes Hanna . The political and social event in Pardes Hanna was marked by a large Arab-Jewish attendance, with MK Ayman Odeh  as the guest of honor.Dozens of right-wing supporters entered the town before the meeting and rushed toward the venue in a pre-organized attempt to disrupt it; they blocked Odeh’s path, atta

By: Tamim Abu Khait After the thunder of cannons, the terrifying sounds of rockets, and the rumble of tanks have faded, the cannons of the judicial and governmental revolution  have returned to the battlefield — with a series of legislative proposals accompanied by the dismissal of anyone who dares oppose the orders of “King” Netanyahu. Thus, the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee  approved the “Incitement to Terror”  bill in its second and third readings. The

By: Muhammad Yahya, Attorney In the discourse taking place in Israeli society today, the issue of the future of the state and the status of Arab society is prominent. A true and legitimate partnership means membership in an alternative government from within, and not just as a blocking bloc from without. Otherwise, democracy, which is already frozen, will become even colder. In everyday life, in hospitals, factories, sports, service industries, institutions, high-tech, and go
