{{Main|Arameans in Israel}}
In September 2014, Israel recognized the "Aramean" ethnic identity of hundreds of the Christian citizens of Israel. This recognition comes after about seven years of activity by the Aramean Christian Foundation in Israel – Aram, led by IDF Major [[Shadi Khalloul Risho]] and the Israeli Christian Recruitment Forum, headed by [[Father Gabriel Naddaf]] of the Greek-Orthodox Church and Major Ihab Shlayan. The Aramean ethnic identity encompasses all the Christian Eastern Syriac churches in Israel, including the [[Maronite Church]], [[Greek Orthodox]] Church, [[Greek Catholic]] Church, [[Syriac Catholic Church|Syriac Catholic]] Church and [[Syriac Orthodox]] Church. Many Israelis who advocated for and identify as Aramean today are Maronites, with Assyrians identifying as well.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24936/Default.aspx | title=Israel Today - Stay Informed, Pray Informed | access-date=21 September 2014 | archive-date=7 March 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210307132630/https://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24936/Default.aspx/ | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news| url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/1.616299| title=Israel Recognizes Aramean Minority in Israel as Separate Nationality| newspaper=Haaretz| first=Jonathan| last=Lis| date=17 September 2014| access-date=21 September 2014| archive-date=17 September 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140917165653/http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/1.616299| url-status=live}}</ref><ref>http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=20169 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181214122744/http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=20169 |date=14 December 2018 }}</ref>
