The Prawer Plan
Decision No. 2491 (28.10.2007) mandated that the Housing Minister appoint a committee to develop recommendations for the government, regarding policies to regulate Bedouin settlement in the Negev. In January 2008, after a thorough examination of the Goldberg Commission Report (a report designed to regulate Bedouin settlement in the Negev), the government approved Decision No. 4411 (referred to as the “Accountability Policy Proposal for Regulating Bedouin Settlement in the Negev”). This Decision called for the government to appoint a team to implement the recommendations of the Goldberg Commission Report and regulate Bedouin settlement. Minister Ehud Prawer was assigned to this team and appointed as Head of Policy Planning under the Prime Minister. On May 31, 2011, the implementation team submitted its recommendations, which have been referred to as the Prawer Plan. On September 11, 2011, the Israeli cabinet approved the Prawer Plan.
