Thousands of Palestinians protested against home demolitions and forcible expulsion in southern Israel

Thousands of Palestinians protested against Israel’s policy of home demolitions and colonial expansion in the Negev in southern Israel on Thursday, Wafa news agency reported.

Thousands took to the streets in front of the Israeli government offices in Beersheba, carrying placards calling for the end of home demolitions and forced expulsion of Palestinians, as well as for the resignation of former Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli’s plans to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Negev.
