Opponents of the Israeli government's plan say it will enable the rapid eviction of Bedouin citizens and turn the northern Negev desert into a 'region of displaced people living in inadequate conditions'
The Israeli government is developing a plan that will move thousands of Bedouins who today live in unregulated homes across the Negev Desert to temporary caravan parks located inside officially recognized communities.
The level of infrastructure planned for these"transitional neighborhoods" – including electricity, water and sewage – will be lower than required for structures in regulated communities...
The plan was designed by the Authority for Development and Settlement of the Bedouin in the Negev, which at the start of the year was put under the aegis of Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli.
Under the plan, temporary housing will be established in all recognized Bedouin communities in the Negev... On Monday, the Southern District Planning and Building Committee will hear objections to the plan submitted by several Bedouin communities, both recognized and unrecognized, and civil society organizations.
Opponents of the plan say it is designed to enable "the rapid eviction of the Bedouin population" and to turn the Northern Negev into a "region of displaced people living in inadequate conditions."
Some 300,000 Bedouin live in the Be'er Sheva subdistrict, more than half in unrecognized communities...
Authority officials say developing permanent infrastructure in the temporary neighborhoods would "take a long time and require enormous capital." Therefore, "reasonable infrastructure solutions" will be built as an "interim response," as the plan puts it.
Several years ago, the Bedouin Authority proposed a plan that concluded that some 36,000 people needed to be moved for the sake of national infrastructure projects like the Route 6 extension, high-tension power lines and the like. Additionally, in the past year, the government has been advancing another plan that includes designating certain Bedouin areas for evacuation.
The newer plan does not provide details, but it appears that it will, among other things, relocate Bedouins for the purpose of establishing new Jewish settlements, expanding existing ones and "enabling the implementation of super-infrastructure in accordance with approved plans." Building new neighborhoods would facilitate those plans.
