Israeli Housing Minister Yoav Galant inaugurated a swimming pool and
country club in the Bedouin town of Rahat and made clear that the gift
has a political price, accepting the Jewish nation state law and the
higher value it gives to Jewish settlement of the land.

Deputy Mayor of Rahat, Amer el Huzail, responded by demanding the
Israeli government recognize Bedouin villages in the Negev and grant all
citizens equal rights.
