A drafted law proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and submitted to the Knesset has angered Palestinians who represent 20% of the population. The law stipulates that individuals seeking the Israeli nationality must take a loyalty oath acknowledging Israel as a Jewish state. According to the far-right wing in the governmental coalition the amendment is considered a victory. Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman welcomed the resolution stressing that "Everyone who wants to receive Israeli citizenship must swear loyalty to the state of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state”.
