Palestinian member of the Knesset Talab Abu Arar said that this is the beginning of the Prawer Plan, even though it wasn’t officially confirmed by the Israeli government.
“If a Jewish man was taken out of his house because he didn’t pay his rent, the Israeli authorities would provide a home for him, but for Arabs their houses are demolished and they’re left out in the streets,” he added.
In August, Israeli forces destroyed three Palestinian homes in the Negev.
The Israeli government in January approved the Prawer-Begin Bill, calling for the relocation of 30,000 – 40,000 Bedouin, the demolition of about 40 villages and the confiscation of more than 700,000 dunams of land in the Negev.
