<snip>
sraeli ministers have approved the wording of a new law that would downgrade Arabic as an official language and which states that the right to self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people, despite the countrys sizeable non-Jewish minority.
The go-ahead for the nation state bill by the ministerial committee for legislation means it will now move forward to a vote by the countrys parliament. The bill has to pass several stages in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, for it to become law and could also be challenged in the courts.
Critics say the law is discriminatory and could undermine Israels balance of being both a Jewish and democratic state by harming the rights of minorities.
