Palestine’s refugees in Syria said don’t leave your land

The 1948 Mideast War: Why the United States isn’t going to Take Over Gaza, but It’s Not Going to Do It

Then he quotes the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, who wrote, “My homeland is not a suitcase, and I am not a traveler. I am the lover, and the land is the beloved.”

They could potentially leave the camps and move to a Palestinian state in the future. A Palestinian state seems like a distant dream today.

A new Israeli law that recently took effect bars UNRWA from operating in Israel. The agency says that will create a host of challenges, but UNRWA is still functioning in Gaza, the West Bank and in Arab countries.

The state of Israel has always resisted the return of Palestinian refugees. Israel claims that UNRWA perpetuates a cycle of dependency as refugee status is passed on from one generation to the next.

“I have the right to return. This is both an individual and collective right. Me, my children, my grandfather and my grandmother — all of us have the right to return,” said Fadi Deeb, a 52-year-old resident of the Jaramana Camp.

The UN passed Resolution 194 in December 1948, which gave refugees the right to return to their homes once the war was over.

That 1948 Mideast War erupted at Israel’s founding and pitted Israel against several Arab states. More than a half million Palestinians were scattered throughout the Middle East during the war.

The president wants the United States to take over Gaza and move 2 million Palestinians from the territory that has just been ravaged by a war with Israel.

It’s pie in the sky. It’s not going to happen. And there are many reasons why it’s not going to happen. Hussein Ibish, a senior research fellow at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, said that it was not going to happen.

The original tented encampment has long since turned into a permanent neighborhood of cinderblock houses, with children running through the narrow, muddy streets beneath a tangle of electrical wires overhead.

“The Arab armies were all saying, ‘We are coming to fight for you. Leave for eight days, and we will liberate the land,'” she said. “People left carrying their house keys and locking their doors. People believed they would come back in eight days.

The al- Ali family fled their home in the Arab-Israeli war and eventually settled in a refugee camp in Syria.

“If you want to approach this from a humanitarian perspective, return them to their original villages,” she said. If you really care about humanity, you should rebuild and return them. But don’t deceive people with false claims.”

Netanyahu demanded that Hamas return hostages by noon local time on Saturday, or “the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will resume intense combat until Hamas is decisively defeated,” he said, referring to the acronym for the Israeli military.

The announcement came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met his security cabinet a day after Hamas said that it was delaying the next hostage release, accusing Israel of reneging on the terms of the first phase of a ceasefire agreement, painstakingly negotiated after more than 15 months of war with the help of the U.S., Qatar and Egypt.

Netanyahu welcomed the President’s call for the release of hostages by Saturday, as well as his vision for Gaza’s future.

Hamas says that Israel has not allowed certain items required by the ceasefire agreement to enter the enclave. Israel controls all aid that enters the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu also said that he had instructed the Israeli military to “amass forces inside and around the Gaza Strip.” The Israeli military said they were sending more troops to the area.

Last weekend, Hamas and Israel exchanged three hostages for dozens of Palestinians. The exchanges gave away 16 Israelis and five Thai hostages in exchange for more than 670 Palestinians. Hamas had originally agreed to release 33 Israeli hostages in the deal’s first phase in exchange for around 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

After the ceasefire went into effect, thousands of Palestinians fled to the north of the Gaza Strip, including many who returned on foot.

According to Israeli authorities, more than 250 people were taken captive in the conflict after Hamas and other groups broke through the frontier with Israel and killed over 1,200 people.
