1. Deal reached between state, residents of demolished Bedouin village

The residents of the partially demolished Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran reached an agreement with the government on Monday that would see a new neighborhood built for them in the nearby city of Hura in the Negev.

Umm al-Hiran was the site of regular clashes between residents and police over the court-ordered removal of the village and the residents’ repeated rebuilding of it in recent years.

According to a Channel 2 television report Monday, the government said a deal has been reached between the residents and the state’s Bedouin Authority to provide five years of temporary housing for the 80 families displaced from Umm al-Hiran in Hura, during which a permanent neighborhood for them would be build in the city.
