Israeli police on Saturday attacked thousands of protesters in the
coastal city of Haifa and the desert village of Houra demonstrating
against a draft law aimed at evicting Bedouin residents from the
southern Negev.
Protests against the so-called Prawer bill – which would forcibly evict up to 40,000 Bedouins, demolish about 40 villages and confiscate more than 700,000 dunams of Negev land – also took place in the West Bank, Gaza and across at least 14 other countries.
The draft legislation of the bill was adopted by Israel's parliament in a first reading in June but it has to pass two more readings before it becomes law.
