Israel calls off resettlement plan for Bedouin
Israel has suspended a controversial bill aimed at resettling nomadic Bedouin Arabs into government-recognized villages.
      
The man behind the plan, former Cabinet minister Benny Begin, says Thursday that due to political opposition the bill would be shelved.
      
Opponents charge the plan would confiscate Bedouin land and affect their nomadic way of life. Israel insists the moves are necessary to provide basic services that many Bedouins lack and would benefit their community while preserving their traditions. The government has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in housing, health, public services and education for the Bedouin.
     
Bedouins are a small group within the Arab minority. Traditionally, they have identified more closely with Israel than their Arab brethren, but their complaints against the resettlement program echo broader sentiments among other Arab Israelis.
