Israel’s parliament (Knesset) on Thursday adopted a controversial bill that declares the occupying entity “the nation-state of the Jewish people.”
The law prioritizes “Jewish” values over democratic ones in the occupied territories, declares Jerusalem al-Quds the “capital” of Israel, allows Jewish-only communities, sets Hebrew as the official language of Israel and relegates Arabic from an official language to one with “special status.”
Larijani denounced the move as entirely racist and said it showed the true color of the so-called “deal of the century” proposed by US President Donald Trump.
He said international bodies, particularly the IIPU, should adopt measures against this “stupid scheme”.
