Israel is considering a bill to require Israeli universities to include a prerequisite course on Zionist concepts in their curricula.
The bill was submitted to the Knesset by Yisrael Beytenu Knesset Member Oded Forer.

The measure is intended to counter the anti-Israel trend that has been seen among many of the academics.
It is also hoped the course will help students become citizens who are more aware of their heritage.
The course is expected to include texts from founding fathers such as David Ben Gurion, Menachem Begin, Yitzchak Rabin, and others.
