there are non-Jewish Israelis. (And Jewish Israelis are not a minority in Israel. They constitute 80% of the population.)

In what sense could "Israelis" be considered to constitute an "actual minority"? (And "Israeli" is also decidedly NOT an ethnicity. There are Jewish and non-Jewish Israelis; the Jewish Israelis include Ashkenazim and Mizrahim, and the non-Jews include Palestinian Arabs who are Muslim, Druze and Christian, along with a few other ethnic groups.)

because you mean "Jews" (Palestinians constitute a minority of the population of the Middle East, as well).
