August 1975 CE
Avraham Ofer, Israel's Labor Alignment Minister of Housing, visits the Yamit area in the summer of 1975 and is disturbed to find a few hundred Bedouin still remain along the coastline.
He demands that the Israeli army evacuate the area since it is to become a national park to "serve the masses of vacationers and bathers who, it is expected, will flow to the golden coast of Yamit."
