The political representatives of the Palestinian citizens in Israel can be caught between a rock and a hard place, committed to the liberation of the Palestinians living under Israeli military rule and in exile, while simultaneously struggling to claim civic and collective rights for the Palestinian citizens within Israel. To overcome attempts by Israeli right politicians to exclude the Palestinian members from the Israeli Knesset, the Joint List was established as a parliamentary bloc that includes all Palestinian political parties, including the Arab-Jewish Democratic Front.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this special evening, we are honored to host three Members of the Knesset from the Joint list for a discussion on the current political reality in Israel and in the region, the challenges faced by Palestinian citizens, the difficulties of representing Palestinians in the Israeli Knesset, and the vision that can be proposed for a better future.<\/span><\/p>\n
