"We hear disturbing reports this year from southern Israel. The Israeli government proposes to relocate some 70,000 Palestinian Bedouins from their present homes to government-approved townships. This is called the Prawer Plan, and Israel’s parliament approved it by a three-vote majority in June.
The Prawer Plan would destroy 35 Bedouin villages in the Naqab (Negev)
region and extinguish Bedouin claims to land seized from them after the
foundation of Israel. The government denies basic services to these
villages. Right beside them, in many cases, are new, modern, fully
serviced communities for Jewish settlers."
