Jewish religious deputies oppose the undermining of the status of the Arabic language
Jewish religious parties oppose the violation of the status of the Arabic language in Israel within the framework of the National Law, which aims to enshrine the Jewishness of the State of Israel, and impede the process of legislation in agreement with the Arab parties
Controversy continues over the provisions of the national law that occupies Israel in the present and provokes the discontent of the opposition, the judicial and academic bodies obstructing the passage of legislation and once the controversial item is the item that deals with the status of the Arabic language in Israel.
The Israeli media, which is moving the discussions of the parliamentary committee, which is working on preparing the final version of the law prior to its vote in parliament, has focused on a "deal" between the Arab legislators and the religious deputies in the committee.
Under the deal, religious deputies announced their opposition to the clause, which aims to reduce the Arabic language from an official language in Israel to a language of special status. Arab MP Ahmed Tibi was seen consulting with the religious MP, Uri Maklab, who described the item on Arabic as offensive and unnecessary.
Maklab said that his ancestors, who came to Palestine 130 years ago and whose language was not Hebrew, opposed the Hebrew language that was used by Jews. They had no problem speaking Arabic. "There was no contradiction between the Judaization of Palestine and the Arabic language," Maklab said.
Al-Haridi, a member of the Yahdut Hutuarat party, added that the Haridist parties fear that the law of nationalism will harm them in the future, especially in the wake of decisions of the High Court of Justice in the light of the law. Makkal said he feared that the judges of the High Court of Justice would interpret the provisions of the law to stop their perspective, so that Israeli lawmakers who initiated this law would not be pleased.
Deputy Rabbi Yisrael Eichler published a letter to his fellow religious parties warning him to vote for the national bill without consulting Jewish rabbis. "The bill transfers basic issues of Jewish statehood to Jewish groups in Israel to the decision of the judiciary, who will rule contrary to what is stated because it contradicts their beliefs that favor human rights and equality," Eichler wrote.
Israeli Prime Minister Reuven Rivlin went out of the ordinary last week and intervened in the legislative process by sending a letter to the prime minister and the head of the law-enforcement committee, urging them to cancel a clause in the bill that would allow for the establishment of a law. Towns for a particular ethnic group. Rivlin said the law actually allows discrimination because only Jewish communities can be established.
