A commendable and historical landmark: Israel recognizes as the first country in the world the Arameans of Aram-Nahrin as a distinct ethnic minority.
The Arameans maintained extensive ties with the Jewish people in ancient times. The
Biblical traditions teach that the Arameans and the Hebrew Patriarchs have shared
origins and that marriage ties existed between the peoples.
