Israel’s Arab Society: Update on Needs, Activities and Philanthropic Responses to the COVID-19 Crisis | April 30 2020
In March, Arab civil society organizations and leaders established a dedicated Emergency Situation Room for Arab Society to coordinate the national Coronavirus response with the needs and realities of Arab communities, and to support local authorities in meeting health and welfare priorities. In parallel, a situation room was also established in the Negev to address the specific crisis-response needs in Bedouin society.

Moderated by Alan Divack, Co-Chair, Social Venture Fund for Jewish Arab Equality and Shared Society and in partnership with the Task Force, Jewish Funders Network and Social Venture Fund.
