Arab Israelis are Arabs who live in the State of Israel. They call themselves Palestinian Israelis. About 21%[citation needed] of the Israeli people are Arab Israelis.

As of 2015, there were about 2.1 million Arab Israelis[citation needed], about 300 thousands[citation needed] of them were living in East Jerusalem and a small number on the Golan Heights.

Most Arab Israelis are Muslims (84%)[citation needed], a small minority is Christian or Druze (both about 8%)[citation needed].
