    Increased tensions, identity struggles: How Givat Haviva helped Arab Israelis cope post Oct. 7

    Following the tragic events of October 7, tensions between Jewish and Arab citizens in Israel increased as Arab Israelis faced significant identity struggles and feelings of isolation. Givat Haviva, a long-standing organization dedicated to fostering a shared society, played a crucial role in supporting Arab Israelis during this time of heightened conflict and mistrust. The organization's programs, which emphasize education, cultural exchange, and dialogue, became even more relevant as they helped bridge divides, offering spaces for communication and understanding. Givat Haviva’s efforts, such as teaching Hebrew in Arab schools and promoting Arabic learning among Jewish citizens, aim to address the root causes of fear and division. Even amid escalating violence, the organization has continued to serve as a hub for coexistence and peace-building, underscoring its importance in shaping a more inclusive future for all Israelis.
