This tour is an opportunity for you to directly engage with the Negev Bedouin community and to learn more about the Israeli policy towards Bedouin villages” said a spokeswoman for Amnesty.

The bus will depart from Tel Aviv – Arlozorov Station on Thursday November 17 at 10am and will return at 6pm. There may be a stop in Jerusalem if necessary.
