Arab Muslims and Christians make up 20% of Israel’s population. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was needed now because the notion of Israel as a Jewish homeland was being challenged.
“The state of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People. It has equal individual rights for every citizen and we insist on this. But only the Jewish People have national rights. A flag,anthem, the right of every Jew to immigrate to the country, and other national symbols.”
