Arab Communities within Israel
For new Arab and Palestinian communities within Israel, we hope that Israel will consult the residents of these communities to consider whether certain communities would like to adopt a closer relationship with the State of Palestine. Some Arab Israelis might have compelling reasons for deepening the relationship with their brothers and sisters in Palestine. Men and women alike would desire to maintain access to family members living on the opposite side of the border. It is plausible that communities of Muslims, Christians, Druze and Jews who are separated by the border would wish to maintain brotherhood and sisterhood. Here, too, people should be offered the option of dual citizenship or residence.
