    The Government of Israel is implementing long-term programs with a range of objectives and methods, to provide a response to social issues, including the need to develop the Arab population. MJB’s Research Team on the Arab Population is developing its ability to evaluate complex intervention programs of this kind. The team emphasizes the consolidation of our knowledge and understanding of the unique characteristics of Israel’s Arab population in all its diversity.
