The Israeli government has approved an ambitious $3.85 billion plan for the social and employment development of Israel’s Arab citizens. In this week’s Fathom Highlight Ron Gerlitz, the co-executive director of Sikkuy: the Association for the Advancement of Civic Equality, explains how and why the plan was passed and why it is a historic move that shows it is possible to transform Israel into a more just society.
Our Voice of the week is Professor Derek Penslar of Oxford University’s Israel Studies Centre, presenting a lecture on ‘The Invention of Israeli Nativity’.
