Map of Arab population, 2015
Arab citizens of Israel,
[3] or
Arab Israelis, are
Israeli citizens who are
Arab. Many Arab citizens of Israel self-identify as
Palestinian and commonly self-designate themselves as
Palestinian citizens of Israel or
Israeli Palestinians,
[4][5] According to a 2017 survey, only 16% of the Arab population prefers the term "Israeli Arab", while the largest and fastest growing proportion prefers "Palestinian in Israel". A notable percentage prefers Palestinian Arab, rejecting entirely the identity of "Israeli".
[6] The traditional
vernacular of most Arab citizens, irrespective of religion, is
Levantine Arabic, including
Lebanese Arabic in the North of Israel,
Palestinian dialect of Arabic in Central Israel and Bedouin
dialects across the Negev desert; having absorbed much Hebrew loanwords and phrases, the modern dialect of Arab citizens of Israel is defined by some as the
Israeli Arabic dialect.
[7] Most Arab citizens of Israel are functionally
bilingual, their second language being
Modern Hebrew. By
religious affiliation, most are
Muslim, particularly of the
Sunni branch of
Islam. There is a significant
Arab Christian minority from various
denominations as well as the
Druze, among other religious communities.
[8]
According to Israel's
Central Bureau of Statistics, the Arab population in 2013 was estimated at 1,658,000, representing 21% of the country's population.
[2] The majority of these identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and
Israeli by
citizenship.
[9][10][11] Arab citizens of Israel mostly live in Arab-majority towns and cities; with eight of Israel's ten poorest cities being Arab. The vast majority attend separate schools to
Jewish Israelis, and Arab political parties have never joined a government coalition.
[12][13] Many have family ties to Palestinians in the
West Bank and
Gaza Strip as well as to
Palestinian refugees in
Jordan,
Syria and
Lebanon.
[14] Galilee Bedouins,
Negev Bedouins and the
Druze tend to identify more as Israelis than other Arab citizens of Israel.
