  ABSTRACT: The article examines the educational policy of the Israeli governments towards the Arab education system and the implications of this policy on the status and achievements of that system. Based on a theoretical background describing the relations between Israel as a Jewish state and the indigenous Arab minority, the study focuses on four main historical eras: 1) that of the Military Administration period (1948-1966); 2) the “melting pot” period (1967-1999); 3) After “Al-Aqsa Events” 2000 through 2017; and 4) Between the years 2018 (Nationality Law) and 2022. Drawing on the analytical framework designed by Lauen & Tyson (2009). The findings of the study demonstrate the existence of understandable patterns of inequality on the basis of ethnicity and possible relationship between national ethnic affiliation in Israel and education policymaking for the education system of Arab minority. The article offers insights, conclusions, and recommendations for the future.
