Israel to raze Umm al-Hairan village in Negev

Tuesday 22-November-2016

The Israeli authorities intends on Tuesday morning to demolish the Bedouin village of Umm al-Hairan and displace its residents.

The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel Adalah condemned the Israeli government for seeking to displace the Bedouin Arabs from their homes and attempting to legalize unauthorized outposts for settlers in the West Bank.

Adalah accused the Israeli government of insisting on destroying the village despite a court verdict stating that the residents are not trespassers and live in the area with the permission of the competent authorities.

Chief of the village council Ra’ed Abul-Qi’aan appealed to Palestinian activists and politicians to stand by the villagers and work on preventing the demolition of their homes in the morning.
