Equal Shelter for All

Social Affairs Minister Meir Cohen has discovered who is to blame for the Negev Bedouins’ lack of shelter against rocket attacks — a lack that led to the death of Auda al-Waj in an unrecognized village near Dimona and the wounding of six other Bedouin during Operation Protective Edge. During a meeting with Bedouin local council heads, Cohen suggested that the Arab Knesset members “promote the interests of the non-Jewish authorities and citizens and deal less with the Palestinian problem.”
