Israel Looks Poised to Demolish Its Bedouin Villages
The country plans to relocate tens of thousands of Bedouins who currently live in communities the government won't recognize.
For many years, 200,000 Arab Bedouins have lived in the Negev desert in southern Israel. Some reside in government-built towns, others in villages unrecognized by the Israeli government, built without water access, electricity or sanitation infrastructure.
But now, the Israeli military is building new bases in the desert, along with 10 new communities. The "unrecognized" villages will also be demolished.
