The Tribe of Abimelech Platform, standing before the oldest tribal confederation of indigenous families of Palestine, and in unity with other recognized Bedouin tribes of the Naqab, Gaza and the West Bank, mourns the tragic and preventable death of Ahmad al Hassanat, a member of the Hassanat Abu Mu'aliq tribe, who succumbed to acute malnutrition at Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza on July 22nd, 2025. His death is more than a tragedy for the tribe, but a damning indictment of the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the far-right and extremist leaders of the State of Israel, which refuses to recognize our indigenous status despite global acknowledgment and legal obligations under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
