After the clandestine work and coordination between several quarters, the Minister of Justice, Aylet Shkid, legitimized the robbery and theft of 180,000 dunums, which belong to Arabs in the western Negev, and from these lands, which have been the subject of ownership claims by Arabs for decades.

   MP Talab Abu Arar said in this regard: “We will go to all the frameworks to show that the actions of the Minister of Justice, Aylet Shkid, are illegal, and that stealing and, in particular, the theft of 180,000 dunums is a legal violation on the international level, and this plan has been wedged between Shaked, Ariel and the prime minister, and apparently a delay in the Begin-Ariel plan to displace the residents of the unrecognized villages until after the confiscation of Arab lands in the western Negev.

   He also confirmed that he will call a meeting of the Follow-up Committee and the Steering Committee to discuss the matter, he said ”We will increase the intensity of the struggle and call upon responsibles to do their duty to participate in the protests.”

   “Everyone of us has to take part in the struggle, because to plunder the West Bank of the Naqab is an introduction to take over the lands of the Siyag and other areas in the eastern Negev, and most of them belong to the Arabs of the Negev,” he said.
