The Bedouin comprise the youngest population in Israeli society - about 54 percent of the Bedouin population was younger than 14 in 2002. [70] With an annual growth rate of 5.5% that same year, [ 70 ] which is one of the highest in the world, the Bedouin in Israel were doubling their population every 15 years. [ 71 ]
According to the Israel Land Administration, Negev Bedouin claim area 12 times bigger than that of Tel Aviv.
