Israeli High Court yesterday cancelled a petition filed by the National Democratic Assembly (Balad) in the Israeli Knesset against the Nation State Law, Safa News Agency reported.
The petition requested that the court order the head of the Knesset to accept the bloc’s proposed modifications to the “racist” law, changing Israel’s depiction as a “Jewish state” to “a state for all its citizens”.
