Arutz Sheva reports,

Interior Minister Ophir Pines (Labor) today said he will ask the cabinet to approve the appointment of the first Arab to serve as a ministerial director general.
The minister, who took over the ministry earlier this year after Labor joined the new coalition, said he had nominated a Jaffa resident, Abu Razek, to man the post. Pines has expressed his intentions to make the Arab population feel equal with Jews.
