<p>A leading Israeli rabbi has called on his government to &#8220;encourage Bedouins to return to their native land in Saudi Arabia and Libya&#8221;. Rabbi Dov Lior made his statement during the fourth Ramla conference on 26 April.</p>
<p>&#8220;With regards to the Bedouins I say that incentives should be nurtured, including financial incentives, to encourage them to return to their countries of origin,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Today there is a great deal of land in Saudi Arabia. Libya also has some available land. They have enough land. I&#8217;m not saying that we won&#8217;t help them from a humanitarian perspective &#8211; we&#8217;ll help them there. If they are left here, there won&#8217;t be any solution as they work against the people of Israel and the State of Israel,&#8221; added the rabbi of the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba, near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.</p>
<p>In response, Arab Knesset Member Talab El Sana filed a notice to the Israeli Attorney General, Yehuda Weinstein, asking him to initiate a criminal investigation against Rabbi Lior for his &#8220;racist&#8221; statements.</p>
