Israel: Bedouin

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact the government of Israel’s plans to (1) build 10 new settlements, and (2) resume its forestation work, in the Naqab, will have on the existing Bedouin communities.

Answer

We continue to follow the debate around unresolved Bedouin land claims, unrecognised Bedouin villages in the Negev and lack of basic services for Bedouin communities. We continue to encourage the Israeli authorities and Bedouin communities to agree a satisfactory solution to these issues.
