state to be its national under the operation of its law. Stateless de facto person
who is without being deprived of 
nationality does not enjoy the protection and the assistance of the
state.  In Israel the Palestinians
citizens of the State of Israel  their
existence is denied by the state of Israel.

This article will focus on the interpretation of minorities
in International Law and will give briefly an overview of theoretical
questions. The objective of a such investigation is to understand whether the
Palestinian minority in Israel has the features of a national or that of an ethnic
minority.

The bulk of this article will deal with the legal status of
the Palestinians in Israel in order to demonstrate that the Palestinians in
Israel are stateless persons.
