Israeli Culture Series presents: Who are We, the “Non-Jewish” Communities in Israel?
with Gadeer Kamal-Mreeh
As an Israeli Druze woman, Gadeer Kamal-Mreeh will discuss Israeli society from her point of view. She will talk about minorities in Israel, their characteristics, differences, social changes, challenges, and aspirations.
Gadeer Kamal-Mreeh is the Jewish Agency for Israel’s first Druze emissary to the United States. Previously, she made history as the first Druze woman to get elected to the Knesset.

After hosting the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation’s daily newscast in Arabic, she began anchoring its main Hebrew Saturday evening newscast, becoming the first non-Jewish anchorwoman in Israel in Hebrew.
