Israel's Nation-State Law, officially known as the Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People, was passed by the Knesset on July 19, 2018. This law has been a focal point in discussions about whether Israel's policies and legal framework amount to apartheid, particularly in relation to its treatment of Palestinian citizens and residents.
The Nation-State Law is significant in the apartheid debate because it is seen as a legislative embodiment of policies that prioritize Jewish identity and rights over those of other ethnic and religious groups within Israel. This has fueled arguments that Israel's legal and political systems are structured in a way that discriminates against non-Jews, contributing to the broader discourse on apartheid.
