Egypt joined other Arab countries yesterday in denouncing Israel for sanctioning "racial segregation" against Palestinians by passing the controversial nation-state legislation into law last week, the Times of Israel website reports today (July 22, 2018).
The law -- passed by Israel's Knesset on July 19 -- enshrines Israel for the first time as "the national home of the Jewish people."
Yesterday, Egypt slammed the new Israeli law, saying it "consolidates the notion of occupation and racial segregation, and undermines the chances of achieving peace and reaching a just and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian issue."
Critics in Israel and abroad -- including a plethora of Diaspora Jews -- have fiercely derided the new law as being discriminatory and unnecessary.
