Abstract

Based on semi-structured, in-depth interviews with Arab-Palestinian sulha mediators in the Galilee, the article explores different forms of dispute resolution used for resolving matrimonial and familial disputes in this community. The “customary” sulha mechanism is shown to be highly heterogeneous in nature. Furthermore, it is argued that different modes of sulha reflect and embody different models of relationship between the Israeli state and the Arab-Palestinian minority. These modes are presented and discussed in the article.
