The destruction of Khan al Ahmar and the two-state solution

1.​​ Khan al-Ahmar is a tiny​​Bedouin village of fewer than 200 people, home to once-nomadic families who settled after the Israeli army expelled them from the southern desert seven decades ago. 2.​ ​Khan al-Ahmar’s modest appearance belies its significance to many Palestinians as the keystone of their struggle for​​statehood – a community whose location is so strategic that, if they were removed, it might crumble hopes for a future country. 3.​ ​After years of resistance against Israeli demolition orders that say the makeshift village in the occupied​​West Bank is illegally built, last week brought what appeared to be final preparations for its destruction. 4.​ ​The Palestinian government says a forcible transfer of people from their homes by an occupying power is a war crime. And foreign governments warn that Khan al-Ahmar’s location makes it vital to the moribund two-state solution.
