Background and ideology
Brit Olam is joint Jewish–Arab party founded by Ofer Lifschitz in 2005. It stands for the foundation of a Palestinian state, separation of religion and state, raising the minimum wage and improving the education system. It also aims to improve relations between Jews and Israeli Arabs and emphasises the need for social justice and cohesion.
