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

Arab-Jewish Party A Place for Us All Drops Out of Knesset Race
The party’s leaders announced they decided to withdraw from the election ‚out of a sense of responsibility and to avoid wasting opposition votes,‘ after their attempts to join the newly revived Joint List failed.
The Arab-Jewish party A Place for Us All announced Tuesday that it would not run in the upcoming Knesset election, after efforts to join forces with other parties failed.
The party will therefore not submit a slate of candidates to the Central Elections Committee. „The party decided not to run in the upcoming Knesset election, out of a sense of responsibility and to avoid wasting votes,“ it said in a statement. Haaretz, 8. September 2026

Der große Umbruch?
Israel steht vor einer der wichtigsten Wahlen seiner jüngeren Geschichte. Die Ereignisse in der aktuellen Legislaturperiode, vor allem der Angriff der Hamas am 7. Oktober 2023, haben Israels Politik und Gesellschaft massiv verändert. Im Zentrum der Wahl am 27. Oktober 2026 steht die Frage nach der zukünftigen politischen Richtung des Landes sowie nach der Fortsetzung oder dem Ende der Ära des inzwischen 76-jährigen Premierministers Benjamin Netanjahu.
