Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who faces an international arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, has signed an evacuation order for Khan al-Ahmar, a Palestinian Bedouin community east of Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank. The move is tied to the long-contested E1 settlement plan, a 3,400-home project that human rights groups warn would bisect the West Bank and eliminate the territorial contiguity needed for a viable Palestinian state. International pressure had previously halted a similar eviction order issued in 2018, but residents say the current political climate leaves them fearing the worst.
