The Nation-State Law recently passed by the Knesset declares officially for the first time that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people and only of the Jewish people. Opponents of the law claim that it prevents non-Jewish citizens of Israel from feeling that it is their country as well. In your opinion, was there or was there not a need for the law to make this declaration at this time?

The newly adopted Nation-State Law says that Israel will work to maintain the bond between the country and Diaspora Jewry and will also strive to preserve the Jewish cultural, historical, and religious heritage in the Diaspora. Some claim that this wording expresses Israel’s condescension toward Diaspora Jewry, as if they need its help on these matters. In your opinion, is this interpretation of the law right or not right?
