In a major policy shift, Israel will buy “Bedouin lands” at market prices. Bedouin have no title to the land, and don’t use them continuously, thus cannot claim the right of homestead. Arab countries disregard Bedouin flexible ownership of the land.
Israel will additionally renovate seven Bedouin towns and build seven new villages for them with modern infrastructure, schools, and hospitals. Bedouin will be allowed the ultimate right denied to the Jews: to live homogenously. The Supreme Court bans the Jews from buying land in Bedouin settlements, but allows the Arabs to buy land in Jewish communities.
