Nearly two years of war has strained all facets of life for Israeli society. Arab citizens, one-fifth of the population, have faced unique vulnerabilities to the social, economic, and political upheaval
intensified by the war. Pre-existing socio-economic gaps, complex identity dynamics, and heightened mistrust between Jews and Arabs have increased uncertainty about their place and overall security within Israeli society.
Drawing on recent surveys, official data, and the work of researchers in the field, this brief summarizes key indicators regarding Arab society and Jewish-Arab relations in Israel in 2024- 2025. It is important to note that this brief draws on surveys with different samples, methodologies, and populations, which adds complexity to the interpretation of trends and comparisons.
