High_Follow-Up_Committee_for_Arab_Citizens_of_Israel
The High Follow-Up Committee for Arab citizens of Israel (Hebrew: ועדת המעקב העליונה של הציבור הערבי בישראל, Arabic: لجنة المتابعة العليا للجماهير العربية في إسرائيل, also, High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Affairs and High Follow-Up Committee for the Arab Masses in Israel) is an extra-parliamentary umbrella organization that represents Arab citizens of Israel at the national level.[1] It is "the top representative body deliberating matters of general concern to the entire Arab community and making binding decisions."[2] While it enjoys de facto recognition from the State of Israel, it lacks official or de jure recognition from the state for its activities in this capacity.[1] The National Committee of the Heads of Arab Localities (NCALC), the sole non-partisan organization representing the Arab minority in Israel, constitutes the main party in the High Follow-Up Committee (or Follow-Up Committee; its shorthand forms).[1][2]
