He referred to as for “help [for] Al-Araqeeb and stand by its individuals within the face of uprooting and displacement plans,” stressing that “all of the authorities’ practices is not going to deter us from staying steadfast on our land.”

The village was last razed on 30 September and that is the twelfth time it has been demolished this 12 months. Members of the Yoav police unit of the so-called “Negev Improvement Authority” liable for finishing up home demolitions in Arab cities within the Negev, and the so-called “Israel Lands Administration” proceed to storm the village.
The village was first levelled in July 2010, and each time the residents of Al-Araqeeb rebuild their tents and small houses, occupation forces return to raze them, generally several times in a month.
Positioned within the Negev (Naqab) desert, the village is considered one of 51 “unrecognised” Arab villages within the space and is consistently focused for demolition forward of plans to Judaise the Negev by constructing houses for brand new Jewish communities. Israeli bulldozers, which Bedouins are charged for, demolish every little thing, from the timber to the water tanks, however Bedouin residents have tried to rebuild it each time.
Bedouin within the Negev should abide by the identical legal guidelines as Jewish Israeli residents. They pay taxes however don’t take pleasure in the identical rights and providers as Jews in Israel and the state has repeatedly refused to attach the cities to the nationwide grid, water provides, and different important facilities.
