The human rights group called on the Israeli government to stop the demolition of Bedouin communities not &#8220;recognised&#8221; by Tel Aviv &#8220;immediately&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to a report in the Jerusalem Post, Amnesty&#8217;s Middle East Programme Director Phillip Luther said that the Israeli authorities have to change their policies in a way that guarantees appropriate housing for all citizens.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Prawer-Begin Bill, which was adopted by the Israeli government, may lead to the compulsory displacement of tens of thousands of Bedouin citizens,&#8221; added Luther. &#8220;It is a racist plan that opposes Israel&#8217;s obligation to fulfil international conventions. It is not acceptable under any circumstances.&#8221; &#8211;<br />
