The Ministerial Committee on Legislation will vote Sunday on both the “Nakba Bill” and “Shalit Law.” Both laws face opposition; in the case of the Shalit law, the bill is reportedly opposed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
The Nakba bill is a scaled-down version of a law proposed two months earlier by MK Alex Miller of Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home). The law aims to prevent state funds from going towards ceremonies marking “Nakba Day,” a day on which many Israeli Arabs mourn the establishment of the modern state of Israel as a Nakba (“Disaster”).
