  • NGO Report to the UN Human Right Committee in Advance of Its List of Issues for the State of Israel
    NGO Report to the UN Human Right Committee in Advance of its List of Issues for the State of Israel Violations of the ICCPR committed by the State of Israel against the Arab Bedouin in the Southern Negev-Naqab desert Submitted by The Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality (NCF) Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel 9 April 2018 1 The Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality (NCF) was established in 1997 to provide a framework for Jewish-Arab collaborative efforts in the struggle for civil equality and the advancement of mutual tolerance and coexistence in the Negev-Naqab. NCF is unique in being the only Arab-Jewish organization that remains focused solely on the problems confronting the Negev- Naqab. NCF considers that the State of Israel fails to respect, protect and fulfill its human rights obligations, without discrimination, towards the Arab-Bedouin citizens in the Negev-Naqab. As a result, the NCF has set as one of its goals the achievement of full civil rights and equality for all people who make the Negev-Naqab their home. Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel is an independent human rights organization and legal center, founded in November 1996. Its mission is to promote human rights in Israel in general and the rights of the Palestinian minority, citizens of Israel, in particular (around 1.5 million people, or 20% of the population). This work also includes promoting and defending the human rights of all individuals subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Israel, including Palestinian residents of the OPT.

  • Israel's Possible Annexation of West Bank Areas: Frequently Asked
    Israel’s Possible Annexation of West Bank Areas: Frequently Asked Questions Updated July 14, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46433 SUMMARY R46433 Israel’s Possible Annexation of West Bank July 14, 2020 Areas: Frequently Asked Questions Jim Zanotti Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has stated his intent for Israel to annex parts Specialist in Middle of the West Bank in 2020. Annexation could raise issues for Congress, and varying Eastern Affairs congressional views on the subject have contributed to debate about implications for U.S.-Israel relations. Congress may conduct additional oversight of Trump Administration actions and could modify or place conditions on U.S. funding for Israel, the Palestinians, and various international organizations. While the West Bank has been under Israeli military administration since its capture from Jordan in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, its status has been different from Israel proper (the territory Israel controlled before the war). Israel’s government has a mandate—based on the May 2020 power-sharing agreement between Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz—to bring the matter of annexation to a cabinet and/or Knesset vote as early as July 1, 2020, provided that it is done in coordination with the United States. Palestinian leaders strongly oppose annexation, partly because it could undermine their hopes for a viable Palestinian state with territorial contiguity. Israeli annexation could thus have significant consequences for future U.S. efforts to secure a negotiated Israeli- Palestinian peace. In addition to the specific territorial and administrative impact of annexation, it could more broadly affect Palestinian national aspirations and the future of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza, Israel’s efforts to reconcile its actions with its self-proclaimed identity as both a Jewish and a democratic state, and Israeli and Palestinian security concerns.
