| Will Religious Nationalism Spark Another Intifada? A Conversation with Daoud Kuttub |
January 12, 2023 |
|
Award-winning Palestinian-American journalist Daoud Kuttub writes for the Religion News Service that the rise of Israel’s far-right orthodox parties in the new coalition government could threaten democracy and democratic norms. He discusses the events unfolding and how leaders of Israel’s far-right religious nationalist parties are leveraging new ministerial positions to advance the agenda of the National Union of Tkumba - the Religious Zionist Party. From the recent controversy at Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem to the mass protests taking place in Tel Aviv, Kuttab highlights a series of events and actions that raise questions about the future of Israel’s democratic institutions including the courts, and the future of the Palestinians living in Israel and in the Occupied Territories.
