The Bedouins of the West Bank are a semi-nomadic people who were forcibly displaced once before: in 1948, they had to leave the Negev desert in the nascent state of Israel. 

The Negev, which is still home to other Bedouin tribes who are also being threatened, is the area where these Bedouins are the indigenous people.

However, Israel denies them any indigenous rights. In 2015, this was even ratified by Israel’s Supreme Court.
