JERUSALEM: In the aftermath of the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians by Zionist gangs to pave the way for the creation of the state of Israel, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes in historical Palestine to neighbouring countries.
Following these events, which came to be known to the Palestinians as
Nakba, or the Catastrophe, 28 families settled in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem in 1956, hoping that would be the last time they are forced out of their homes.
AMMAN The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for immediate international intervention to halt Israel’s legalisation of illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
