Israel dismantling rejected temporary housing for Bedouin village evacuees
Defense Ministry workers have begun dismantling housing meant to absorb evacuees from the West Bank Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar, which is slated to be demolished, Haaretz reports.
The temporary housing structures are in the Palestinian village of el-Ezzariya on the outskirts of Jerusalem. But Khan al-Ahmar residents say they refuse to move there.
The hamlet, built on state-owned land but established before Israel controlled the area, was due to be razed any day, but on Saturday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the demolition delayed to negotiate a solution with residents.
