JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has long demanded that the Palestinians acknowledge his country’s existence as the “nation-state of the Jewish people.” On Thursday, his governing coalition stopped waiting around and pushed through a law that made it a fact.
In
an incendiary move hailed as historic by Mr. Netanyahu’s right-wing
coalition but denounced by centrists and leftists as racist and
anti-democratic, Israel’s Parliament enacted a law that enshrines the
right of national self-determination as “unique to the Jewish people” —
not all citizens.
