Tel Aviv (UNA/WAFA) – The Israeli Supreme Court approved a decision to displace the residents of the Bedouin village of Ras Jaraba in the Negev within the 48 territories. .
This came after the court rejected the residents' appeal against the decision of the Beersheba Central Court, paving the way for the eviction of about 500 Palestinian Bedouins from their lands east of Dimona within three months..
The Israeli Supreme Court's decision effectively grants "legal legitimacy" to a displacement operation that is not based on a valid plan, which the villagers and human rights organizations consider a "consolidation of apartheid policies" in the Negev..
The lands of Ras Jaraba historically belong to the Hawashla tribe and are inhabited by residents from the Hawashla, Abu Salb, and Nassasra families. The village is located within the Dimona area of influence in a region known as “Al-Sha’iriya” or “Markabat Al-Hawashla.”".
