History

Historical Context

In 1948, the Arab-Israeli war triggered the Nakba, displacing roughly 750,000 Palestinians and reshaping the region’s future political demographic landscape. The United Nations established UNRWA that year, allocating $100 million in initial funding to aid refugees across Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Proposals by Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to expel Gaza’s two million residents echo the Nakba’s transfer rhetoric and legal challenges. Condemnation from the Arab League, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and the United Nations threatens renewed diplomatic isolation and possible UN Security Council resolutions.
