Palestinians in Israel find consensus against army enlistment
One of the largest assemblies of Palestinian community leaders inside
Israel in the last decade was held in Sakhnin two weeks ago as Palestinians in Israel organize to push back against the state’s new efforts to recruit Christians into the army.
Organized by the High Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel, participants included Islamic movement leader Sheikh Raed Salah, Greek Orthodox Archbishop Attalah Hanna, Palestinian members of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset,
representing multiple parties, Druze sheikhs and other religious
community leaders as well as activists, writers, judges and artists.
