Deputy Minister Yair Golan (Meretz) has weighed in on the latest controversy over the nature of the Israeli state, after two Arab MKs argued over whether Israel should be considered a Jewish state or not.
"What's all the fuss about?" said Golan. "Israel is a Jewish state with a Jewish majority that can control its own fate. That was the Zionist dream, alongside equal rights for Israeli Arabs. That's not racism or discrimination."
