Samah Sakran
Hebrew, Arabic
Director of the Jusur Association for the Integration of Israeli Arabs
Since October 7, Arab society in Israel has faced unprecedented challenges. On the one hand, the desire to integrate into Israeli society is growing. On the other hand, frustration over the war in Gaza is rising, along with incitement led by Islamist actors.
Samah Sakran, a Muslim Zionist Arab and director of the Superah al-Mahaba association, which supports at-risk youth and encourages civil service in Arab society in Israel, presents in a fascinating lecture the current trends among the Arab public in Israel at this historic crossroads — between Israeli identity and Palestinian identity.
