Israel’s Palestinian Citizens – Mittwoch, 30. September 2026 – 19-22.00 Uhr (in Englisch)
(… auch eine Idee für andere Städte im Lande…)
Twenty percent of Israel’s population (around two million people) are Palestinian citizens of Israel.
Their story begins with the Nakba, the catastrophe of 1948: while roughly 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from or fled their homes, about 150,000 remained within the newly established State of Israel & were granted citizenship under the 1952 Nationality Law.
The panel discusses historical continuities from the Nakba to the present, social and spatial realities, and legal strategies. How can Palestinians use Israeli citizenship to protect their existence? Under what conditions does Jewish-Palestinian cooperation in politics and civil society work? And what role does the international community play?
Panelists: Sleman Altehe, Himmat Zoubi and Sawsan Zaher
Moderator: Kristin Helberg

Noch gibt es keine unabhängige Untersuchungskommission in Israel zum 7. Oktober. Die Frage nach Verantwortung und Verantwortlichkeiten ist mitten in den Wahlkampf geraten.
Die Tageszeitung Haaretz hat am 8. September 2026 einen großen Beitrag von Shlomi Eldar und Ruth Yuval zu dieser Frage veröffentlicht.

Hier die Zusammenfassung, die Haartetz selbst anbietet:
A week and a half before the October 7 massacre, Mohammed bin Zayed, the president of the United Arab Emirates, called Netanyahu and spoke with him for 45 minutes. He gave him an explicit warning that Hamas‘ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was planning a major operation against Israel. Bin Zayed expressed concern that the event in question would not only lead to bloodshed but also destabilize the entire region and undermine the Abraham Accords. He urged Netanyahu to take the matter seriously. But to his surprise, the prime minister reacted with relative calm. He said that, in his assessment, Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank area, and reassured bin Zayed that Israel was prepared for any scenario.
The Emirati ruler did not imagine that the prime minister would hear the message but wouldn’t brief the heads of the defense establishment about the warning.

Israel’s new settlement construction plans threaten to split the occupied West Bank, poking a finger in the eye of those who support Palestinian statehood. With the Trump administration largely keeping mum, responsibility to try stopping this project falls most heavily on European governments.


This morning (3.9.26) Standing Together put up a massive billboard along Tel Aviv’s busiest highway reading “A peace government will bring change. Yes to a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” as part of a campaign calling on the next government to enter into negotiations with Palestinian leaders on a real, just peace agreement.

Linda Dayan in Haaretz über die Hintergründe…
Israel’s far-right government is advancing construction in the contentious E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim, issuing tenders for 1,200 new housing units despite decades of international opposition. Critics warn the move could divide the West Bank, sever East Jerusalem from Palestinian territory, undermine prospects for a Palestinian state and risk mass Palestinian displacement. With contracts imminent, it could soon become irreversible.
