Back
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Most of the Negev Bedouins live in planned, modern localities. A minority of Bedouins live in unrecognized locations and encampments, lacking basic infrastructure. Israel has made enormous efforts to find agreed-upon solutions that would benefit this population. The 200 residents of the unrecognized site of Hiran, which comprised only a handful of structures before the mid-1980s, have been offered 140 plots in the modern Bedouin town of Hura, 5 km. away. Some 3,500 members of the same Bedouin tribe already live in Hura. The Israeli government gave the affected Bedouin families the chance to move to plots allocated for their use and that of their children in Hura, and offered them financial compensation as well. The government gave them an additional alternative: to live in the new town that is planned for Hiran. After a 10-year legal battle, the Israel Supreme Court decided in 2015 to implement the approved plans. 2017-01-19 00:00:00Full Article
