Researcher Sujud Awayes, in an interview with 'Arab 48', discusses the differences between the approaches of the Zionist right and left regarding the integration of Palestinians into Israeli society. She highlights the right's efforts to create a 'Zionist Arab' model that not only integrates but renounces his Palestinian identity and replaces it with an Israeli identity based on fully adopting the Zionist narrative, including accepting Israel as a Jewish state, that Palestine is the exclusive right of the Jewish people as the 'Land of Israel', and engaging in civilian and military service for the state. The article mentions right-wing models such as 'Atidna', 'Stars of the Desert', and 'Ma'aseh', and compares them to left-wing initiatives led by Israeli associations aiming to integrate Arabs on the basis of Israeli citizenship. The article describes the right's replacement of the 'dead Arab' model with the 'Zionist Arab' model.
