Content creator Nuseir Yassin, known globally as Nas Daily, delivered a strong message to Arab Israelis at the Edunation 2026 international education conference in Jerusalem this week. Yassin, who was born and raised in Israel, urged the Arab community to take responsibility for their integration into the country, emphasizing a shared future with Jewish Israelis.
"I think for many Israeli Arabs there is a backup plan, maybe to move to Palestine or Jordan. But actually, I think the message is there is no backup plan. We are in this together," Yassin stated. He elaborated that when Jewish Israelis face difficulties, Arab Israelis are with them, as any harm to Jewish Israelis or Israel as a state would likely affect his own family. "We share the danger. I want us to share the risk, and in the next decade I hope we also share the profits," he added.
Yassin, who holds approximately 14 million YouTube subscribers and 4.7 million Instagram followers, previously declared himself "Israeli-Palestinian" after the October 7th attacks, prioritizing his Israeli identity. He identified two main issues: one with the state and another within the Arab Israeli community itself, urging self-reflection. He called for improvements in English language proficiency, tolerance, and curiosity within the Arab community, while also acknowledging the state's responsibility and commending efforts by the Health and Education ministries to integrate Arab citizens.
Criticizing the Israeli education system's language instruction, Yassin noted that after 12 years of schooling, he and his peers still lacked sufficient Hebrew proficiency. He suggested increasing interaction between Jewish and Arab students to foster a genuine need for language use. Yassin also discussed the future of education in the age of artificial intelligence, proposing AI as a solution to many educational problems and envisioning a future with one teacher, AI agents, and students. A study presented at the conference indicated that 87% of Israeli youth feel the education system inadequately prepares them for the future.
