Morning

We took part in a parade from Kfar Saba to Jaljuliya as a protest against the idea of a transfer which stars  in Trump's century plan. The parade included about 100 people who entered the outskirts of Kfar Saba and walked on foot to Jaljuliya (about an hour's walk). We walked through an industrial area, then through green fields and pastoral scenery, gathered in the large square of the mosque in the village and we joined by  few hundred villagers. Of course there were speeches, the head of the local council, and others.

I would like to point out that this was the second time  people of the Negev have joined  in the protest against the transfer and it was an important event. It is a pity that some Bedouin community members who planned to attend at the end did not arrive, even though they were pre-registered. These were only special circumstances that took us out of ”the Negev” to the center. Now it is done!

The Journey Into the Negev Project is a joint project for the MachsomWatch and Standing Together.
