The shooting occurred during a spate of violent attacks on local political figures in the Israeli Arab community.
OCED's report highlighted concerns over the underrepresentation of certain groups, particularly within the haredi and Arab populations.
For education to effectively strengthen the nation as a whole, it must be accessible to the entire Israeli population – including its sizable 21% Arab minority.
"The government and its representatives are silent but we are not," said Standing Together.
Five people were killed and one person was moderately injured in a shooting incident in the northern town of Basmat Tabun.
"We saw the man lying unconscious with no pulse and no breathing and suffering from penetrating injuries to his body," said medic Yishai Levy.
In a separate operation in the village, the police removed 31 security cameras set up by a criminal organization.
Hadash-Ta’al MK Ayman Odeh said violence in the Arab sector was a product of Israeli racism.
By September 1, some 165 Israeli Arabs had been murdered since the start of the year. The violence is clearly out of control. But why? And what can and should be done?
The meeting came as Arab leaders are dealing with record numbers of murders within the sector. So far in 2023, more than 170 Arabs were killed.
