Join NIF Australia executive director Liam Getreu in conversation with the head of the Arab-Jewish Relations Program at the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) and New Israel Fund board member Dr Nasreen Haddad-Haj Yahya, as well as Mikhael Menkin, a fellow at the Katznelson Institute and former executive director of Breaking the Silence to learn more about the impact of coronavirus on a divided Israel.

Over three elections in the last year, the Palestinian Israeli community has faced heightened racism and incitement. Their legitimacy as equal partners in any future government continues to be questioned, and may even trigger an unheard of fourth election.
