Israeli minister plans Arab city
BBC

Israel's Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit says he wants to build a new Arab city in the north of Israel.

It would be the first city built for Israel's Arabs - who make up nearly 20% of the population - since the country was founded in 1948.

Israel is home to about 1.2 million Arabs, who are the descendants of Palestinians who remained there after the state was formed in 1948.

...

Mr Sheetrit was speaking only two days after hitting the headlines for his outspoken response to a rocket attack from Gaza that badly injured a young Israeli boy.

He told fellow cabinet members they should pick a neighbourhood in Gaza and "wipe it out".
