A tourist arriving in 2018 to Jerusalem – the declared but internationally unrecognized capital of Israel – might visit the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. Here, the tourist might encounter Member of Knesset (MK), Hanin Zouabi, an Arab-Palestinian citizen of Israel who has represented the Arab party Balad for almost a decade. As a member of this party – many of whose members openly declare their sympathy with those Israeli Jews perceive to be Israel’s most intransigent enemies – Zouabi participated in the 2010 Marmara Flotilla that sought to defy the Israeli blockade of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Accused by Jewish MKs of being a traitor, numerous attempts were made to oust her from the Knesset and prevent her and the Balad party from reelection. These efforts were blocked by the Supreme Court and Zouabi was reelected in both 2013 and 2015. Her political activities are not, however, limited to the conflict, and her feminist agenda challenges the exclusive authority over personal status held by the religious (Jewish and Islamist) courts that undermines gender equality. Despite her strong political commitment, Zouabi did not run in the April 2019 elections, but her Balad party continued to take part in the elections.
