According to a report in the Jerusalem Post, Amnesty’s Middle East Programme Director Phillip Luther said that the Israeli authorities have to change their policies in a way that guarantees appropriate housing for all citizens.
“The Prawer-Begin Bill, which was adopted by the Israeli government, may lead to the compulsory displacement of tens of thousands of Bedouin citizens,” added Luther. “It is a racist plan that opposes Israel’s obligation to fulfil international conventions. It is not acceptable under any circumstances.” –
