i24 News — Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman called for an amendment to the Nation-State Law after the identity of the officer killed more than three years ago during an operation in Gaza was revealed.

“There is a clear contradiction between the Nation-State Law in its current version and the eulogies given in honor of Lt. Col. Mahmoud Khir al-Din,” the minister said on Twitter.

“This is an opportunity to amend the Nation-State Law and make the Declaration of Independence a fundamental legislation,” he added.

“I call on the opposition and the coalition to redefine a path, instead of just using words like ‘brothers in arms’ to refer to Druze society, do what is necessary,” he said.

On July 19, 2018, Israel’s Knesset approved a controversial bill that only recognizes the right to self-determination for Jews, removing Arabic’s status as an official language alongside Hebrew.

 

It stipulates that “The state of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, in which it fulfills its natural, religious, and historic right to self-determination” and “The fulfillment of the right of national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.”

Lieberman’s statements come as the Israeli military on Sunday authorized the publication of the name of a special forces officer killed in a nighttime operation in the Gaza Strip in November 2018, Lt. Col. Mahmoud Khir al-Din.

  1. I wouldn’t make any hasty decisions before consulting with Thomas Nides. As always, Israel needs America’s permission before changing anything.

  2. The Zionists should simply stop lying that they are the “Jewish State”, because they are not; they are the Zionist State.

    Then, they can make up whatever rules they want for their invented Zionist nationality, to include any religion and ethnicity they want, and to include whatever invented language they want, including “modern Hebrew”.

    But that won’t happen since their goal, as Rav Chaim Brisker said, is shmad; the State is only a means to that end.
