Question
Shalom.
A Jew inherited a plot of land in a Bedouin village in the Negev.
Is it permitted to try to sell it to another Jew who will most likely eventually sell it to a non-Jew?
And if no Jew is found who is willing to buy it, is there any advice as to what to do with the land?
I should note that if the Jew keeps the land in his possession, it is very likely that Bedouins will ultimately take it over.

Shalom and blessings.
It is permitted to sell the land to a Jew, even if there is a concern that he will sell it to a non-Jew.
