| Israeli Ministry Sets Sights on Millions of `Potential Jews` to Improve Country’s Image and Fight BDS | | Noa Landau and Chaim Levinson - Haaretz - As part of the attempts to estimate the number of people who could possibly be involved, the committee sketched out five “circles of affinity." The first group is the Jewish “core” with over 14 million people who are commonly recognized as Jews.
The fifth and last group is the largest, about 60 million people, described as having “future potential" as "descendants of Jews, descendants of forced converts, and additional communities with an affinity to the Jewish people but are not currently declaring so or are unaware of it."

| The quiet feminist revolution in Arab society in Israel | | Samah Salaime -

"Despite the hardships, Arab women are making gains in the Israeli
legal establishment, local politics, academia, and even in the
Islamic Movement...The number of Arab women in academia leaped by
nearly 50 percent over the past few years, and there is hardly a
singly academic institution that has not invested a great deal of
money in its Arab students. The number of young Arab women in
academia has risen every year, and today constitutes 58 percent of
undergraduates...What is certain is that social norms in the Arab
community are constantly changing, mainly thanks to the tens of
thousands of Arab women who do not give up on themselves." ca | 24/3/2018 |

| Israeli town halts tender after Arabs buy up land | | Times of Israel - Kfar Vradim, a Galilee town founded in 1984,
presently has 1,700 houses and 5,800 inhabitants - all but a handful
of them Jews. It is in the midst of an expansion plan which would
more than double its size - an additional 2,200 homes would
increase the population to some 14,000 people. However, after 58 of
the first 125 plots were purchased by Arab families, mostly from the
neighboring Arab town of Tarshiha, the Kfar Vradim Mayor Sivan
Yechieli, announced that no new tenders would be issued until "he
had discussed with government authorities a way to retain the town’s
Jewish character". The mayor was strongly condemned as a racist by
political parties and movements and by human rights organizations. A
protest demonstration will be held outside Yechieli`s home tomorrow
(Wednesday). It had been noted that much of the land on which Arabs
from Tarshiha want to build their homes had originally belonged to
Tarshiha and was confiscated after 1948. [ak] | 20/3/2018 |

| In lead-up to mass deportation, Israel closes Holot detention facility | | Joshua Leifer -

"The Israeli government announced in January that African asylum
seekers had three months to leave the country. Those who remained by
April 1st would face an impossible choice: indefinite imprisonment
in Israel or deportation to Rwanda or Uganda.On Thursday, however,
Israel’s High Court of Justice issued an interim injunction against
the deportation plan, following a petition filed on behalf of 119
Israeli human rights activists. The court’s decision suggests that
it has real concerns about the details of the secret agreement
between Israel and Rwanda, which the Israeli government claims
allows Israel to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, but which the
Rwandan government has repeatedly denied exists." ca | 16/3/2018 |

between Israel and the PA under which Israel commits to collect
taxes for the Palestinians, such as customs import duties and income
tax deducted from the pay of Palestinians working in Israel, and
transfer these revenues to the PA." ca
