Once again, Arab mayors in Israel are threatening to resign en masse in protest over the lack of government funding for their councils.

 

They claim it is a form of discrimination against the Arab population in Israel. 

 

This comes at a time when many Israeli officials are calling the Palestinians to recognise Israel as a Jewish state.

 

Inside Story discusses how this issue is shaping the relationship between the state of Israel and its Arab population.
