Protesters slam Israel plan to destroy Bedouin villages

‘Hundreds of people have staged a demonstration in the occupied Palestinian territories to protest against Israeli plans to force thousands of Palestinian Bedouins from their homes, which will be demolished and replaced by a new Israeli settlement in the Negev region.

On Thursday, some 400 protesters, among them Palestinian lawmakers, chanted anti-Israeli slogans and called for a halt to the demolition of the Bedouin villages of Atir and Umm al-Hiran, and the establishment of the Hiran settlement on the ruins.

About 192,000 Bedouins, or indigenous Arabs, are currently living in the Negev desert. Most of their villages were constructed before the occupation of Palestinian territories in 1948.’
