Arabic to English Other Government / Politics Palestinians in Israel

This is a follow-up to the question I asked the other day about the word اهلي

This text is about the role of civil society organizations of the Palestinian society inside Israel. I have been translating the phrase المجتمع اهلي as "civil society." However, the author is making a distinction between المجتمع الأهلي and المجتمع المدني that I don't quite understand, as in the following:
الإنتقال من المجتمع الأهلي ٳلى المجتمع المدني لا تزال بعيدة

Are we talking about a move from "civil" society to "civilized"? Any insight you can provide about the connotations would be very helpful.
