Kebanyakan orang Arab yang tinggal di Yerusalem Timur dan Dataran Tinggi Golan, yang diduduki oleh Israel pada Perang Enam Hari tahun 1967 dan kemudian dianeksasi, ditawarkan kewarganegaraan Israel, tetapi kebanyakan menolak, tak ingin mengakui klaim kedaulatan Israel. Mereka menjadi pemukim permanen sebagai gantinya.[12] Mereka yang berhak atas kewarganegaraan, dapat memasukki layanan munisipal, dan memiliki hak suara munisipal.[13]

JSTOR837997.The Israeli Nationality Law came into effect on 14 July 1952. Between Israel's declaration of independence on 14 May 1948 and the passage of this bill four years later, there technically were no Israeli citizens. In this article, the phrase "Arab citizen" is used to refer to the Arab population in Israel, even in the period after the 1949 armistice agreement and before the passage of the Nationality Law in 1952.

"The issue of terminology relating to this subject is sensitive and at least partially a reflection of political preferences. Most Israeli official documents refer to the Israeli Arab community as "minorities". The Israeli National Security Council (NSC) has used the term "Arab citizens of Israel". Virtually all political parties, movements and non-governmental organisations from within the Arab community use the word "Palestinian" somewhere in their description – at times failing to make any reference to Israel. For consistency of reference and without prejudice to the position of either side, ICG will use both Arab Israeli and terms the community commonly uses to describe itself, such as Palestinian citizens of Israel or Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel."
^An IDI Guttman Study of 2008 shows that most Arab citiens of Israel identify as Arabs (45%). While 24% consider themselves Palestinian, 12% consider themselves Israelis, and 19% identify themselves according to religion. Poll: Most Israelis see themselves as Jewish first, Israeli second
