Move to give Jews special status sparks controversy

Dr Victor Kattan, Senior Research Fellow at the Middle East Institute of NUS opined that Israel’s controversial Nation State Law is going to make it harder for Israel to weather criticism that it is replicating South Africa’s once notorious apartheid system.
