Election campaigns tend to highlight the issues that capture media headlines. This annual Social Report, on the other hand, looks at long- term socio-economic processes: economic instability, one of whose sources is the absence of a political agreement with the Palestinians; the growth of financial capital, which serves the interests of a small minority; reduced investment in the real economy, in which most Israelis are employed, relative to other developed countries; deepening inequality between the income brackets, with a surge ahead by the highest percentile, the top one percent of earners; the inability to break the 50% barrier with regard to successful high school matriculation rates; greater household spending on health; and wide gaps in the standard of living for retired persons. Most of the figures that appear inIsrael: A Social Report are published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (hereinafter CBS) at a delay of one year; hence, the picture presented here relates primarily to 2011. However, most of the tables and figures also provide data for the previous decade, 2001-2011, which allows for the identification of long-range processes. 4 Israel: A Social Report 2012 THE DOUBLE JEOPARDY OF THE ISRAELI ECONOMY Israel’s economy is subject to double the first and second Intifadas.

  • Intensification of Environmental Conflicts Resulting from Rural to Urban Transformation: the Case of Arab Localities in a Changing Galilee
    Intensification of Environmental Conflicts Resulting from Rural to Urban Transformation: The Case of Arab Localities in a Changing Galilee Hussein Tarabeih* Rassem Khamaisi* Deborah F. Shmueli* University of Haifa The present study investigates the relationship between atmospheric conditions in Arab society in Israel is a traditional one, undergoing rapid urbanization processes within their communities. This is transformative for both individual and com- munity lifestyles (i.e., changes in demographics, education, economics, agriculture, industry, residential patterns, and expansion of built-up areas), and at the same time creates environmental problems and conflicts. Hazards are emerging and existing environmental problems are worsening impacting land, water, sanitation and animal-husbandry.This paper examines and characterizes the environmental conflicts that develop within Arab localities and in interface zones within which the Arab and Jewish populations converge. Fundamental failures are exposed in planning policy, licensing and enforcement, and lack of an established environ- mental administrative structure within Arab towns. The intricacies of planning within the localities, disregard of environmental issues, and the failure of local and central government decision makers to recognize that environmental hazards extend across town borders, perpetuate environmentally-unfriendly planning solu- tions within and adjacent to Arab localities. Keywords: Urbanization in Arab Communities, Environmental Conflicts, En- vironmental Planning and Administration, Land Acquisition, Contact Zones. Arab communities in Israel are undergoing a process of rapid urbanization. The population growth within these localities, the expansion of their built up areas, and their socio-economic and geo-political transformation have been documented and analyzed widely, while the environmental aspects of such urbanization within Arab communities and in the areas between them and adjacent Jewish localities have at- tracted less attention.

  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948
    [Intelligence Service (Arab Section)] June 30, 1948 Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948 Contents 1. General introduction. 2. Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a.

  • The Mossawa Center's Briefing on the 'Deal of the Century' 1. Political
    The Mossawa Center’s Briefing on the ‘Deal of the Century’ 1. Political Background Following two inconclusive rounds of elections in April and September 2019, Israel is set to hold an unprecedented third consecutive election in March 2020. With no clear frontrunner between Benny Gantz of Kahol Lavan (Blue and White) and Benjamin Netanyahu of the Likud, the leaders are locked in a frantic and unrestrained race to the bottom. Trump’s announcement that he would launch the political section of his ‘Peace to Prosperity’ document before the Israeli election has fanned the flames of this right-wing one-upmanship. The timing of the announcement was criticized as a political ploy to benefit his close ally Netanyahu which, against the backdrop of his alleged interference in Ukraine at the crux of his impeachment trial, he was eager to avoid. In the end, both Netanyahu and Gantz visited the White House, but there was only one winner: the sitting prime minister – who, on the day of the announcement, was indicted all three counts of bribery, fraud and breach of trust after withdrawing his request for immunity. It was Netanyahu who unveiled the document alongside the President, forcing Gantz’s hand: in his earlier attempts to cannibalize Netanyahu’s voter base in his pledge to annex the Jordan Valley, he had no choice but to endorse the plan, which could come before the Knesset before the March 2020 election. However, Gantz’s rightward shift has dire ramifications for the next election. Between the April and September elections, turnout among the Palestinian Arab community increased by twelve points, and polls are predicting a further increase.

We base our evidence on a natural experiment that sharply reduced the cost of attending school and, as a consequence, significantly increased the education of affected cohorts. This natural experiment was the result of the de facto revocation in October 1963 of the military rule that had been imposed on Arabs in Israel, immediately creating free access to institutions of schooling.
