The director of the Authority for Development and Settlement of the Bedouin in the Negev, Yair Maayan, explained why the demolition of six houses in the Negev was canceled.

"The demolition of 6 houses in the village of E-Ziyadna has been canceled due to a larger building plan for that area. It will soon be possible to issue building permits soon and demolition is unnecessary, "said Maayan.
