Answer 1 Thank you for that question! The answer will be a surprise to a great many people, and may even change some attitudes.
According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics:
-- At the end of March 2013, the total population of Israel was 8,012,000. (8 million plus.)
-- 1,656,000 (1 and 2/3 million) of them were Muslim Arabs ... 20.6 percent of the population.
-- ALL of the counted adult population are voting citizens of Israel ... men and women, of any religion.
Answer 2
While there are 1.66 million Muslim Israeli citizens, most of those individuals identify as Palestinians, regardless of the fact that they receive all Israeli social benefits, they have the rights and privileges of all Israeli citizens, and they vote for their own political parties which support their own desires and promote their particular issues. To the Israeli population, they are identified as "Arab Israelis" although they usually identify as "Palestinians in Israel". It is worth noting that the status of Arab Israelis is legally quite different from Palestinians in the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip and much better than Palestinians in the UNRWA camps.
However, minority Muslim Israelis like the Bedouins and the Circassians identify more readily as Israelis as do Druze (another religious group) and almost never use the term Palestinian to describe themselves. The Bedouins and the Circassians are also much more involved in the Israeli military. Bedouin males engage in voluntary service while the Circassians have mandatory male service (by their desire).

What are the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict on the Israel's relationships with other Muslim Countries?
There is presently no Israeli-Palestinian war. Similarly, there has been no relationship between Israel and Muslim countries for quite a while, except for Egypt and Jordan, which have executed peace treaties with the Jewish state. Israel has also maintained strong relationships with the Muslim-majority nations of Turkey and Iran for a long period of time. However, the Israeli-Iranian Alliance collapsed with the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The Turkish-Israeli Alliance was dealt a major blow by the Mavi Marmara Incident which is related to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

Can Arabs serve in the Israeli armed serves?
Yes, Israeli Arabs can served in the Israeli armed services. However, they are not required to do so, it's on a voluntary basis. Israeli Arab minorities like the Druze and the Circassians do have mandatory male service in the Israeli army. The Bedouins serve voluntarily, but have a relatively high service rate. It is ethnic Palestinians, especially ethnic Muslim Palestinians, who often do not serve in the Israeli Army. Many of them, especially in the older generation, see service in the Israeli Army as a betrayal of their ethnic Palestinian nature.
