Minister Shamir arrived at the Knesset’s Lobby for the Needs of the Bedouin Community with no News

On Monday, November 17, the Lobby for the Needs of the Bedouin Community in the Negev of the Knesset convened for a discussion with Yair Shamir, the appointed minister for settlement regulation in the Negev. Minister Shamir had no news, and mainly described the process of withdrawal of the Prawer Plan. The minister said that in his opinion, house demolitions are immoral, yet claimed that by now there is no other solution instead of this policy. When minister Shamir was asked whether there is a new relevant plan for this issue, he left the room and did not hear all of the community’s representatives that arrived in order to present their position.
