Israel: Bedouin

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they (1) have had, and (2) intend to have, with the government of Israel regarding the displacement of Bedouins from Negev land.

Answer

We continue to follow the debate around the issue of unresolved Bedouin land claims, unrecognised Bedouin villages in the Negev and lack of basic services. We continue to encourage the Israeli authorities and Bedouin communities to engage in dialogue to agree a satisfactory solution to the issue, respecting the rights of the people affected.
