Trump says one-state solution could lead to Israeli PM called ‘Mohammed’

No Muhammad is an Arabic name and in the law they passed they said the only language acceptable in Israel is Hebrew. Before this Arabic was a recognized language in Israel but not anymore.
Arabic is still a recognized language in Israel. There is no any change in status of the Arabic.

Israel's Nation State Law.
The law does three big things:

  1. It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”
  2. It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
  3. It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

So a second grade language is spoken by second class citizens according to this law.
So can a citizen without the same rights as Jewish people in Israel ever become their leader? NO.

This law literally translates to Israel is for Jewish people only.

There is no downgrade of Arabic, since it was never official de jure. Arabic was de facto official language and it remains de facto official language.
