Bedouin community wins reprieve from forcible relocation to Jerusalem garbage dump
<snip>
"The Bedouin community that lives just east of Jerusalem will not be required to move next to the Abu Dis garbage dump, as initially proposed, and the Civil Administration will provide another permanent site where they will be able to settle.
The Bedouin, who are from the Jahalin tribe, will be given the opportunity to review and comment on the new proposal but will not be consulted before it is drawn up, Palestinian sources said.
The change in plans, the sources said, follows a visit to the Jahalin encampment at Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank last week by Maj. Gen. Eitan Dangot, the coordinator of government activities in the territories.
Dangot was speaking during a meeting Wednesday with a Bedouin representative and Bassam Erekat, the Palestinian Education Ministry official in charge of the Jerusalem area.
The initial plan to forcibly move hundreds of Bedouin to the site near the Abu Dis dump was initially disclosed in September by Haaretz.
It sparked opposition from the Jahalin tribe and a number of Israeli and international human rights groups."
