What’s the solution to the Palestinian refugee issue? Posted on May 15th
Palestinians are marking the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the first Arab-Israeli war, known as al-Nakba, or “the catastrophe”. What can be done to resolve the Palestinian refugee crisis which was one of the outcomes of the war?
More than 700,000 Palestinians fled their homes or were expelled in 1948, during the war that followed Israel’s declaration of independence.
The anninversary is being marked with a series of marches and protests and comes on the second day of US President George W Bush’s visit to Israel. He is there to join the Jewish state’s 60th anniversary commemorations and to push forward peace talks.
