Aired Oct. 9, 2015: "Violence is escalating in the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. We take a look at the increasingly bitter political divide and ask whether a third Intifada has started and, if so, how does it differ from the previous two?"
West Bank Bedouins fear ‘a second nakba’
Bedouins in the West Bank's E1 area face the threat of displacement due to Israeli settlement expansion plans, which they liken to a second nakba, referencing the 1948 Palestinian exodus. Despite international condemnation and legal challenges, Israel's E1 Master Plan aims to connect East Jerusalem with the Ma’ale Adumim settlement, necessitating the relocation of over 2,000 Bedouins. Protests and temporary camps have been met with military force, leading to demolitions and clashes. The situation underscores the ongoing tensions and the impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the lives of local communities.
