RE: The Village of Dar ElHanoun in Wadi Ara

Dear Mr. Sheetrit,

It has been recently brought to my attention about the village of Dar ElHanoun – a village in the State of Israel, in the Wadi Ara area. The residents of Dar ElHanoun are Arab Israeli citizens who legally own their land.

Despite the fact that the village of Dar ElHanoun dates back to the 1920s, the State of Israel refuses to recognize it and it denies its residents their basic human and civil rights. Houses in the village are constantly being threatened by administrative demolition orders, and your ministry has constantly prevented the village from getting electricity, telephone, transportation, education, health and sanitary facilities.

Officials of your ministry are openly calling for the evacuation of Dar ElHanoun and the destruction of its houses.

Recently, a public asphalted area in Dar ElHanoun was demolished. This area was paved by the residents and Arab and Jewish peace activists. Demolition orders are pending against the houses of this old village.

I see it as your duty to stop this shameful state of affairs. I am calling you to immediately recognize the village of Dar ElHanoun and provide its residents with all the help that your ministry can provide, in equality to Jewish communities in the same region.

Respectfully,

Copy: Israeli Embassy in <PLACE>
