Abstract
It is well known that the Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel (hereafter Arabs) suffer a far higher risk of poverty than the vast majority of Jewish citizens. Moreover, as the National Insurance Institute (NII) documents year after year, the welfare state in Israel lifts far fewer Arab than Jewish families out of poverty. Compared to a hypothetical world with no redistribution, in 2012 taxes and transfer payments combined reduced the proportion of Arab households in poverty by only 8.4 percent. 1 The parallel rate for Jews was 45.5 percent.
