The UN's "Palestinian refugee agency" UNRWA on Sunday urged the international community to oppose Israeli plans to relocate thousands of Palestinian Bedouin from the E1 and Maaleh Adumim areas east of Jerusalem, to the area around Jericho, next to the Dead Sea.
"If such a plan were implemented this would ... give rise to concerns that it amounts to a 'forcible transfer' in contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention" banning involuntary population relocation in occupied territory, UNRWA Commissioner General Pierre Krahenbuhl said.
"It might also make way for further Israeli illegal settlement expansion, further compromising the viability of a two-state solution," he said in a statement. "I urge the Israeli authorities not to proceed with the transfer...and I also urge the donor and state community to take a firm stand against it."
A meeting on international aid to the Palestinian Arabs is to be held in New York on Monday.
UNRWA added that most of those slated for resettlement to Jericho, in the east of the Palestinian Authority territory, were registered Palestinian refugees.
The IDF Civil Administration said there were various plans to rehouse Bedouin and they were being conducted in consultation with community leaders. "As part of the effort to draft master plans for the benefit of the area's Bedouin population, whose purpose is to enable the Bedouin to live in places with suitable infrastructure, dozens of meetings were held with Bedouin leaders," the Administration said in a written response to AFP. "Several plans to prepare such places have been advanced, partly through such meetings."

Are they Palestinians? Are Israelis involved? Not our department. We only care about Palestinians and racist Israelis, which of course is a redundancy./s
The very same. The same Bedu for whom the Israeli government permits polygamy, so their population increases too fast.
It would be ill advised for a sane sensible person to consider drinking Panther Whizz ...although it’s biggest fans would certainly like us to.
Camel Whizz is very popular in that part of the world.
thank you for business plan ..tip....
If I HAD to choose, I think I would prefer Panther to Camel, just on general principles!
For the poor, there is Goat Whiz, the Volkswagon of brewed beverages.
LOL...i bet that is the devil’s brew fer shure.

I don't know much about this, but reading the article I get the impression this was negotiated with the tribes. I can understand why Arabs would like to get out of UN camps after over half a century, just as I understand why the UN wants to keep them there.
The UN passes out “aid” to Bedouins, collected from taxpayer money in decent counties.
If the Bedouins have jobs and houses, the aid would stop and the UN thugs can’t skim 50% off the top.
Not a big mystery.
I thought it stood for United Nations Rocket Warehousing Agency.
Half a a dozen of one. Six of the other. It all adds up the same.
See Jewbacca’s No. 31 immediately after yours. He hits it right on the head.
