Recently Mr. I. Rokach. the Israel Minister of Interior. announced in the Knesset that the policy of family reunion would be further liberalized and additional thousands of Arab refugees will enter the country. (There were 3 Arab members in the first Knesset. 8 in the second.) Government policy. approved by the Knesset. states: "The Arab minority. as well as other minorities. will be guaranteed full and complete equality of rights and obligations in the civic. political. economic. social. cultural. and every other sphere. The Government will extend assistance to the inhabitants of villages who were uprooted from their lands as a result of the shocks of war to return to permanent settlement. Education in the Arabic language will be guaranteed for all Arab children besides the obligatory learning of Hebrew." Let us see now how did the Israel Government fulfill its obligations toward the Arab minority. and we will also try to analyze where and why the Government failed in its duties toward this part of the population.
