If by Sephardi Jews you mean Spanish Jews displaced following the Spanish inquisition, they and their descendents constitute somewhat less than 1,500,000 which is 25% of the Jewish population in Israel. But in the wider secular public the divisions run along continental lines with European Jews constituting the largest group at somewhat over 50% and North African Jews and those from the rest of the Middle East and comprising the other half.

Who had more rights in Israel society?

In Israeli society, Jewish citizens generally have more rights and privileges compared to Arab citizens, who make up about 20% of the population. While both groups are entitled to basic civil rights under Israeli law, disparities exist in areas such as land access, political representation, and economic opportunities. Arab citizens often face systemic challenges and discrimination, which can limit their rights and participation in society compared to their Jewish counterparts.
