The Koenig Report or “memorandum” as it is sometimes referred to, was a private document of recommendations written in 1975 by civil servant Israel Koenig, the Interior Ministry’s official in charge of the Galilee, to alter the demographic balance of the region in favor of the Jews.

The recommendations were rejected by then Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, denounced by senior Cabinet ministers and rued by then foreign minister Yigal Alon who expressed great regret that the recommendations were ever written

Yitzhak Rabin was one of the more moderate Israeli prime ministers to be in power. Many programs of the memorandum were nonetheless implemented. The Israeli government attempted to Judaize the Galilee through appropriation of Arab lands for Jewish settlements. The israeli government deported prominent Arab political leaders from the West Bank.

And of course the people in charge of the Israeli government today are the ones who called for Yitzhak Rabin to be killed because he was too moderate. Smotritch attempted to revoke funding for Arab settlements in East Jerusalem, but they were resumed after massive protests. He did successfully expand East Jerusalem gun ownership exclusively for Jews though.
