Yes, But How Many Candidates Are There?

Dramatic rise in number of Arab volunteers for national service

Data published Thursday by a national service placement organization indicates a dramatic rise in the number of Arabs who volunteer for national service. According to the data, the number of volunteers in the first months of 2007 exceeded by far the total number of volunteers in 2006.

Shlomit, the non-profit organization that arranges placements for secular national service volunteers, registered 213 young Arab volunteers between December and March, compared with 130 volunteers who began their national service last year.

If this trend continues, the total number of volunteers for 2007 is expected to double the registered number for 2006.


Just over 500 out of...?
