NAZARETH, December 3, 2011 (WAFA) – The Higher Follow-up Committee for the Arabs in Israel organized on Saturday several demonstrations in the Galilee and Triangle in northern Israel to protest the so-called Goldberg-Braver plan, according to Arab activists.
The plan calls on the Israeli government to seize 800,000 dunums of Arab-owned land in the Naqab desert, south of Israel, which would displace around 30,000 Arab residents.
Muhammad Zeidan, chairman of the Monitoring Committee, told Voice of Palestine radio that the solidarity activities aim to garner popular support in preparation for a general strike planned for December 11 and a demonstration at the Israeli prime minister’s office to protest this scheme.
