Israeli police have mobilised a large number of officers to enforce the demolition of about 50 homes, in the Negev region. That’s led to protests in the local Bedouin community. Police prevented a Palestinian Israeli Knesset member from approaching the site. Palestinian Israeli MPs have criticised the government’s move, calling for a solution acceptable to all parties. Israel’s far-right National Security minister Itamar Ben Gvir says the demolition is an important step towards restoring governance. Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith is in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank for the latest.
