Two members of Israel's Bedouin community filed a High Court of Justice petition yesterday against the controversial Jewish nation-state law, claiming it is illegal, the Worthy News website reports today (August 6, 2018).
In their petition, Hasan Heeb and Yaqob abu al Elkien demanded that the law be abolished or changed to make it apply equally to all Israeli citizens.
Members of the Druze community -- including three Druze members of Israel's Knesset -- have already filed High Court petitions against the discriminatory law.
Also, some 100,000 people attended a protest against the law on August 4 in Tel Aviv.
