Alleged threats of forced displacement and discrimination against the Bedouin of the
West Bank. According to the information received, the Bedouin of the West Bank were
displaced from their tribal lands in the Negev desert in 1948. They are allegedly continuously
exposed to the threat of forced displacement and discrimination, and live in an area of the
occupied West Bank trapped between the policies of the Government of Israel and the
Palestinian Authority. They are allegedly prevented from enjoying the minimum requirements
of a dignified life, including lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Community
representatives report that the Bedouin are no longer allowed to visit their relatives in the
Negev. The rangeland and water that the Bedouin depend on for their livestock has reportedly
become fragmented by the establishment of closed military areas, Israeli settlements, nature
reserves, check points and the West Bank Barrier.
