  • Israel (Includes West Bank and Gaza) 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL (INCLUDES WEST BANK AND GAZA) 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation. The 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty describes the country as a “Jewish and democratic state.” The 2018 Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People law determines, according to the government, that “the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” In June, authorities charged Zion Cohen for carrying out attacks on May 17 on religious institutions in Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and Kfar Saba. According to his indictment, Cohen sought to stop religious institutions from providing services to secular individuals, thereby furthering his goal of separating religion and the state. He was awaiting trial at year’s end. In July, the Haifa District Court upheld the 2019 conviction and sentencing for incitement of Raed Salah, head of the prohibited Islamic Movement, for speaking publicly in favor an attack by the group in 2017 that killed two police officers at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. In his defense, Salah stated that his views were religious opinions rooted in the Quran and that they did not include a direct call to violence.

Sir, I have the honour to submit to you the annual report on the work of the {sraeli police for 1977. This report will reflect criminal and internal security events in the past year, and the manner in which the police dealt with them. More than ever before. this year was marked by close public interest in crime and police activity - an interest which found its principal expres­ sion in the creation of two commissions of inquiry: the Buchner Commis­ sion and the Shimron Commission. Not always taking a favourable form. thi~ interest confronted the police with numerous challenges. The first and most important of these was a puncfillious re-examination of organisa­ tional structures and concepts. In retrospect, the public outcry relating to the Israeli police did not find it in a state of intellectual stagnation. On the contrary.

  • Greater Tel Aviv As a Global City – a Vehicle for Reviving the National Periphery
    Greater Tel Aviv as a Global City – A Vehicle for Reviving the National Periphery Baruch Kipnis Haifa University and the Carmel Academic Center For more than a decade Greater Tel Aviv 1 has received recognition as belonging to the list of cities that function as a 'global city', a process also entailing the entry of Israel's economy, society and cultural life into the post-industrial era as well as Israel's link with the global world experience. This article will present the features that render Tel Aviv a global city and a center that dominates the country's economy, society and culture, and this despite Israel's declared spatial development policy 2. We will examine how and under which conditions the global city Tel Aviv, which is perceived as a 'huge head of a dwindling national space' (Kipnis, 2009a, 2009b), called the 'The State of Tel Aviv" (Soffer, Bistrov, 2008), will become a vehicle for developing the national periphery. Tel-Aviv-Yafo as a 'Global City' Kellerman (1993) was the first to refer to Tel Aviv as a 'global city.' However, the first significant mention of Tel Aviv as possessing a world city trait [competitive media supply] appeared in a survey conducted by Yankee 3, in the course which 25 global cities belonging to the world's geoeconomic core were ranked 4. The research study was published by Finnie (1998) and Graham (1999). Additional mention was also made in Beaverstock, et al. (1999), who cited Tel Aviv among the 78 cities described as global cities in 15 different research studies 5.

  • The Population of Israel 1990-2009
    The population of Israel Demographic 1990-2009 characteristics 20.10.2010 World Statistics Day • At the end of 2009 Israel had a population of 7.6 million (the population in Population September 2010 is estimated provisionally at 7.7 million). Assuming a medium growth fertility rate and migration balance, by the end of 2030 the population is projected to reach 10 million - more than double the number in 1990 (4.8 million). Population, millions, selected years and projection ±∞Æ∞ ∏Æ∏ ∑Æ∂ ∂Æ¥ ¥Æ∏ ≥Æπ ≥Æ∞ ≤Ʊ ∞Æπ ±π¥∏ ±π∂∞ ±π∑∞ ±π∏∞ ±ππ∞ ≤∞∞∞ ≤∞∞π ≤∞≤∞ ≤∞≥∞ • Israel’s population grew by 133,000 inhabitants in 2009, equivalent to a growth rate of 1.8%, compared to a rate of 5.7% in 1990. The Jewish population rose by 1.7% (95,000 persons) and the Arab population by 2.4% (36,000 persons). • The two main components of population growth are natural increase (births minus deaths) and international migration balance (inflow from immigration and family reunifications minus outflow from emigration). In the Arab sector, the population growth derives almost entirely from natural increase. Among the Jewish population, the proportion of each of the growth components varies over the years as a function of changes in the voloume of immigration. During 1990-1995, in which a yearly average of 114,000 immigrants arrived in Israel and the international migration balance averaged 90,000 individuals per year, the latter component accounted for 65% of the total growth. During 2006-2009, in which an average of 16,000 immigrants arrived per year, the international migration balance accounted for only 13% of the total growth.

  • Israel and the Occupied Territories
    2009 Human Rights Report: Israel and the occupied territories BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices March 11, 2010 Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy with a population of approximately 7.5 million, including Israelis living in the occupied territories. Israel has no constitution, although a series of "Basic Laws" enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a "State of Emergency," which has been in effect since 1948. The 120-member, unicameral Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The February 10 elections for the Knesset were considered free and fair. They resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces within Israel. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.) The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, although there were problems in some areas. There were several high-profile cases involving corruption by political leaders. Institutional, legal, and societal discrimination against Arab citizens, Palestinian Arabs, non-Orthodox Jews, and other religious groups continued, as did societal discrimination against persons with disabilities. Women suffered societal discrimination and domestic violence. The government maintained unequal educational systems for Arab and Jewish students. While trafficking in persons for the purpose of prostitution greatly decreased in recent years, trafficking for the purpose of labor remained a problem, as did abuse of foreign workers.
