THE NAQAB, Monday, June 12, 2023 (WAFA) – The Israeli authorities today demolished five homes owned by Palestinians on the outskirts of Arara village in the Naqab desert in the south of Israel, according to local sources, accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing as part of a plot to displace the Palestinians in the Naqab and replace them with Jews.
The sources said that the five homes belong to the al-Ghoul clan who have been under pressure from the Israeli authorities to leave their homes and lands and move elsewhere.
The Palestinians in the Naqab say the far-right and racist Israeli government wants to increase the number of Jewish settlements in the Naqab at the expense of its indigenous Palestinian inhabitants by not providing the Palestinian communities with any chance to develop and by pressuring them to leave.
