The head of the United Arab List in the Israeli parliament, Ayman Odeh on Twitter stated that the villagers became the victim of a destruction policy from the right government, which expanded the group settlements at the expense of Arab society.

Most countries consider Israeli settlements in the colonies land in The Middle East War in 1967 are illegal and became an obstacle to peace.
