  • Wadi Ara or Nahal Iron, refers to an area within Israel that is mostly populated by Arabs. It is located northwest of the Green Line and is mostly within Israel's Haifa District. Originally captured by Arab League forces (Iraqi) in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, it was ceded to Israel in an apparent exchange for territory south of Hebron in the 1949 Israel-Jordan armistice. In March 1949 as the Iraqi forces withdrew from Palestine and handed over their positions to the smaller Jordanian legion, 3 Israeli brigades moved into positions in Operation Shin-Tav-Shin. Following the operation, Israel renegotiated the cease fire line in the Wadi Ara area of the Northern West Bank in a agreement reached on 23 March 1949 and incorporated into the General Armistice Agreement. It has been estimated that 15 villages were ceded to Israel. The area has come under political attention as some Israeli politicians such as Avigdor Lieberman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party have brought up transferring the area to the sovereignty and administration of the Palestinian Authority for a future Palestinian State. In return the Palestinian Authority is to transfer specific large Israeli settlement "blocs" within the West Bank east of the Green Line to the Israel. According to politicians who support this land-swap, Israel would ensure and secure itself as a primarily Jewish state. However many politicians within the Knesset disagree and believe it would only decrease Israel's Arab population by a mere 10%, while most Israeli Arabs object to trading Israeli citizenship for Palestinian citizenship.
  • Uadi Ara o Nahal Iron, es una región de [[Israel que está habitada en su mayoría por [[Árabe israelí|árabes israelíes. Se encuentra al noroeste de la [[Línea Verde (Israel)|Línea Verde, en el [[Distrito de Haifa. La región fue ocupada por [[Jordania en la [[Guerra árabe-israelí de 1948 y más tarde cedida a Israel a cambio de territorios al sur de [[Hebrón en el [[Armisticio árabe-israelí de 1949#Con Jordania|Armisticio árabe-israelí de 1949. Esta zona ha estado bajo el punto de mira de algunos políticos israelíes como [[Avigdor Lieberman del partido [[Israel Beitenu que han propuesto la transferencia de la soberanía y administración de la región a la [[Autoridad Nacional Palestina para la creación de un futuro estado palestino. Como contrapunto la ANP tendría que transferir grandes "bloques" de [[Asentamiento israelí|asentamientos israelíes situados al este de la Línea Verde, en [[Cisjordania, a Israel. De acuerdo a los políticos que apoyan este plan de intercambio de tierra incrementaría la seguridad de Israel, que además aseguraría su estabilidad como estado judío. Sin embargo son muchos los políticos del [[Knesset que no están de acuerdo ya que creen que la población de árabes israelíes sólo descendería alrededor de un 10% y éstos no estarían de acuerdo en cambiar su nacionalidad.
