Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore the degree of equality between citizens (Jews and others) before the law in Israel. Law includes thoughts like freedom, democracy, participation, and empowerment in addition to environmental, social, and economic justice, social equality, and quality of life. Israel legal system of courts operates in a hierarchy, with the Israeli Supreme Court functioning as the highest court of appeal. The Israeli legal system was created to guarantee the fair and impartial execution of the law to all citizens and is based on a combination of common law and civil law principles. To conduct this research, the mixed method approach was used in which questionnaire and interview surveys was used. The results showed that the concept of equality before the law declares that everyone should be subject to the law in the same manner. Everyone deserves to be treated equally within the confines of the law since they all have the same worth in the eyes of the law. The findings of this study have sought to establish an effective understanding on the domains of social justice and equality, through the prime example of Arab minorities residing within Israel.
