Proposed Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People

Report provides an introduction to Israel's Basic Law "Israel--The Nation State of the Jewish People" (commonly known as the Nation State Law) which was passed in 2018. It argues that while much of the Nakba's expulsions and destruction of Palestinian property was done extralegally, the Nation State Law formally enshrines the Nakba and denial of Palestinian rights and self-determination into Israeli law.
