<p>Israel is taking the first steps towards establishing
refugee displacement camps to house tens of thousands of
Palestinian Bedouin citizens of Israel whom it plans to
“urgently” evict from their homes in unrecognized
villages across the Naqab (Negev) region without even
offering them any permanent or just housing solutions,
according to a new in-depth <a
href="https://www.adalah.org/uploads/uploads/Adalah_Position_Paper_Refugee_Displacement_Camps_December_2019.pdf">report</a>
published by Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority
Rights in Israel.</p>
<p>Adalah’s new position paper, released, on Tuesday,
takes a detailed look at the ramifications of the plans,
and the ways in which they violate the human rights of
the Bedouin community.</p>
<p>Israel’s basic aim is to transfer the residents of
‘unrecognized’ Palestinian Bedouin villages – villages
in which they have lived for decades, and some of which
have existed since before the state’s establishment in
1948 – to temporary structures for a period of up to six
years.</p>
<p>The plans constitute another step by Israel to forcibly
remove the Palestinian Bedouin population of the
unrecognized villages from their homes and lands in the
quickest possible fashion.</p>
<p>Israel’s plan to establish refugee displacement camps
for Palestinian Bedouin citizens must be understood in
the context of a January 2019 announcement by Israel’s
Bedouin Authority that it intends to evict 36,000
Bedouin citizens for the needs of “economic development
projects” and the expansion of military training areas,
the report said.</p>
<p>These plans – expected to affect thousands of families,
will have devastating consequences for the entire
Palestinian Bedouin population of the Naqab, both in the
unrecognized villages and in the recognized townships
where the refugee displacement camps are to be
constructed, the report said.</p>
