Key points

  • The Bedouin community faces the total demolition of its homes, school, clinic, and other vital infrastructure.
  • Israeli courts have ruled that the village structures were built illegally, which provides a legal basis for their removal.
  • The forced transfer of residents from occupied territory is considered a grave breach of international humanitarian law.
  • The demolition of the village threatens the territorial contiguity required for a viable two-state solution.
