The Plight of the Palestinians in the Unrecognized Villages in the Naqab

Register HERE The central Israeli policy toward the Bedouin indigenous community in the Naqab is the demolition of their homes and infrastructure vital for living. In recent years well over 2000 structures have been demolished annually. A growing phenomenon is that Israeli authorities force the Bedouin to demolish their own home or face huge, unaffordable fines. In 2024, there has been a drastic increase of demolitions with entire villages flattened in one day. This webinar will provide the latest news about what is happening in the Naqab along with insight on how the Bedouin community, along with support from critical Israeli Jews, is fighting for their right for recognition so they can live in dignity and with equality.

Khalil Alamour, a teacher and lawyer by profession, is from Al-Sira, one of the unrecognized villages in the Naqab. He is an active member of the Al-Sira Community Council and a member of the Regional Council for the Unrecognized Bedouin Villages in the Negev (RCUV) and a secretariat member of the Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality.

Dr. Yeela Raanan has spent her life promoting the rights of the residents of the Unrecognized Bedouin Villages. She is the general manager of the Regional Council for the Unrecognized Bedouin Villages (RCUV). As an academic, she has taught classes such as “Oppression as Policy” and has taught in the field of Economy and Society. Register for this webinar HERE
