You Have Been Warned: Lucy Aharish Revealed the Weak Point of the State of Israel

Yuval Malka warns in an opinion piece on Channel 14 against Israel's dependence on Arab workers in vital systems, following Lucy Aharish's remarks about a general strike by Arab society. He calls for legislation to limit the proportion of Arab workers in sensitive positions and to require proof of annual residency.

Yuval Malka, a retired police officer, warns in an opinion piece on Channel 14 against Israel's dependence on Arab workers in vital systems. He quotes Lucy Aharish, who said that a week-long strike by Arab society could shut down the state, and calls this phenomenon a 'quiet intifada'. Malka claims that Israeli Arabs hold a larger share of jobs than their relative proportion in the population (about 20%) in healthcare, public transportation, slaughterhouses, and sanitation departments. He calls on the Knesset to legislate laws that would limit the proportion of Arab workers in vital systems to 20% of their share in the population, as well as a requirement to prove annual residency to receive rights and benefits. The article presents Arab integration as a nationalist threat rather than a shared achievement.
