In his letter, Kusa states that this project is susceptible particularly with the arrest of the three sons of the paramount Beduin Chief, Sheikh Sulayman al-Hazi, the confiscation of 14,000 dunams of land and allocating them to Jewish settlements, and the displacement of the Beduin of Bir al-Sabi' and An-Naqab on the grounds that the project aims at eliminating the feudal system.
