Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- in an apparent effort to win Israel's April 9 election -- said today (March 10, 2019) that Israel "was not a state of all its citizens" in a reference to the country's Arab population, according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.
The prime minister went on to say all citizens -- including Arabs -- had equal rights, but referred to a controversial law passed last year declaring Israel the nation state of the Jewish people.
"Israel is not a state of all its citizens," Netanyahu insisted.
"According to the basic nationality law we passed, Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people -- and only it."
