Abstract Since the early days of Israeli independence, there has been a continuous dispute over land rights and settlements in the Negev region, between the Bedouins and the State of Israel. Its most notable manifestation is unauthorized construction dispersed over vast tracts of land, with no consideration for existing zoning plans and in locations undesignated or unfit for human habitation. As a result, the Bedouins, one of Israel’s most impoverished population groups, experience significant difficulties in benefitting from public services available to other citizens. The situation also impedes the development of the Negev for the benefit of all its inhabitants. This article will trace the dispute back to its roots, outline the main public actions taken, and suggest an explanation.

内盖夫土地所有权与擅自建设的冲突

摘要 自以色列独立初期，贝都因人和以色列国之间在内盖夫地区的土地权利和定居点争议不断。其最显着的表现是散布在大片土地上的未经授权的建筑，没有考虑现有的分区计划和未指定或不适合人类居住的地点。因此，贝都因人是以色列最贫困的人口群体之一，在从其他公民可获得的公共服务中受益时遇到了重大困难。这种情况也阻碍了内盖夫为其所有居民的利益而发展。本文将追溯争议的根源，概述所采取的主要公共行动，并提出解释。
