Bedouin Community (Israel)

Context

The Gaza–Israel conflict has spotlighted the Bedouin community in Israel and the unique challenges faced by this minority group within Israeli society.

About

  • The Bedouin are part of Israel's Arab minority, which constitutes about 20% of the country's population.
  • They are Palestinian citizens of Israel, holding Israeli citizenship but facing unique socio-economic challenges.
  • Traditionally, Bedouins are nomadic. However, modern pressures and state policies have significantly impacted their traditional lifestyle, leading to issues of marginalization and neglect.
  • The Bedouin’s primary area of settlement is the Negev Desert in southern Israel. This region is characterized by its harsh living conditions and has been a focal point of land and resource conflicts.
